I ended up just using this as a jackpoint, because it was more parallel with the ground with how high up I jacked it, I put both wheels under the car, and now my transaxle is out. Thanks for everyones help!

Also if you are curious, I was following this guide:

the beauty of using a 4x4 is that you can use jacks on the ends to raise and lower, and if you use pieces of 2x6 like me you can safely support to just about any height.
I place a hockey puck between the frame and the 4x4 to assure nothing slips, eh?
BTW, I am using the same support points as others, as has been indicated in red in their pics
the jacks you see really don't do anything, they were just placed there for additional security, normally I remove the tires and then use the jack stands on the lug bolts as an additional raise/lower support point
I knew somebody that was killed by trusting jack stands, ... so I don't

I don't trust jack stands either. However, with the setup you have there, I'd be quite leery of any lateral force potentially causing the stacked wood to collapse off to either side. EDIT: I didn't even notice the jack stands in the middle. I guess your setup would be okay, but I'd still feel more comfortable if I was under there with the wood arranged in the following manner...

When supporting the pinch weld section below a car's rocker panel, the metal will bite a bit into the wood; low risk of slipping! Do orient the pinch weld perpendicular to the wood grain to avoid splitting. When using these blocks on asphalt, the large surface area prevents sinking into the pavement. They're quite strong enough; I have no qualms about getting under a car supported by these.
