tempting fate (bought new jackstands today)

Is it just me or do all of the other shade tree mechanics pray before going under a suspended car? I couldn't get at the shifter linkage from the top so today I went out and bought a 2ton jack and some jackstands at the local (checker) autoparts store. I was glad when together the price was only $35 but when I got home and was ready to slither under a car supported by their cheap engineering I had second thoughts.
Should I buy a large life insurance policy before going under the car again?
The new shift linkage is unimpressive. Clutch feel in my 9000 goes from really crappy to slightly annoying. I think what I really need is a new clutch and some new synchros.
