Stop in for a cup of coffee

I have a Transmission jack from harbor freight, they work but they have a lot of slop and not very accurate.

The higher you jack it up the the more the Transmission can sway to one side or the other.

Even with a trans jack you still have to wrestle it but the jack holds the bulk of the weight which is nice.

The downside of the jack is you have to lift the vehicle MEGA high if you want to roll the jack under it with the transmission on it. If not then you have try to lift the trans onto the jack while laying on the floor which damn sure isn't happening.

The transmission jacks help but are not the end all problems solution

I worked at a towing company my first summer home from college and they did mechanical work, I was one of the mechanics... We had a 4 cyl Mercury Bobcat in for a clutch job and had to remove the trans... Our trans jack in the shop was broken and they told me to go to the shop next door and borrow theirs...

I didn't feel like going through all of that hassle, so I had the other teenage mechanic (Gary) hand the trans to me while I layed on a creeper... I then slid under the car and bench pressed the trans up and got it bolted to the block...

When the boss's brother came back and saw we had the trans back up there he asked who did it, and Gary said that it was Karl... So the boss's brother "another Gary" comes up to me and says, "Karl, you fucked up... You're the official trans man now"... :BangHead: :realcrazy:
