With the vehicle on jack stands it is a little tricky trying to balance a torqueflite on a floor jack by yourself. How do you secure it? Fabricate a base, rope it on, etc. Ideas? Thank you.
I have this and unless the car is a good bit UP! I can’t use it very much or at all. It’s a good unit, just needs room.View attachment 1715628820
We got one of these years ago for trucks too heavy for the lift and it works like a champ. We've used it on an Eaton transmission without issue.
Yeah it's pretty tall, but some of those adapters are pretty close in height. We have one for a standard floor jack that is just a flat piece of steel with no adjustment. It works, but it can be a pain.I have this and unless the car is a good bit UP! I can’t use it very much or at all. It’s a good unit, just needs room.

We all do.....we all do.
Well sorry you can't have my lift ... I use it too much
I'm no expert but i also got tired of the balancing act too. So a piece of 3/4" plywood (about 10"x11"), 2 bolts through the floor jack "saddle" , and I have something that works for me. I put a strip of wood along the front to prevent any oncern of the trans sliding off in case I get the trans too far forward with the TC in it. I countersunk the bolts so they don't scrape up the pan. For what it's worth!!
