Well apparently the cheap Harbor Freight trans jack I got doesn't like the weight of a 4L80E, converter, and transfer case bolted together. It tried to collapse on me last night and made for a very frustrating trans removal that involved a tranny tipped almost on it's side and wedged between the torsion bar crossmember and front diff yoke.

Anyway, I need a GOOD heavy duty trans jack to use on the floor. What have you guys had good luck with?

 

theyre only good for tape measures and screwdrivers man

This is the one I had



When you crank on the screw to raise the jack it raises off-center....right side raises faster than the left, which makes it want to tip over.

I've been happy with the huge floor jack I got from them so far...I wonder if their hydraulic tranny jacks are decent quality?

 

cant you get a tranny attachment for floor jacks? might try that....or make one for your floor jack

 

I was just looking at that actually. They have this for $40. Would be cheaper than buying a $250-300 tranny jack.

 

Chris I have this one

Let me know if want ot borrow it.
I use this thing alot best this i could buy.

 

I don't like the way that thing looks. Would those point things pock a hole in your pan if it was to big?

 

I dunno...I don't think either of their trans attachments will work with my jack unfortunately. I may go for one of their hydraulic units like Aaron has.

 

I believe that fits in the round pilot hole of a jack, that would work good with your big as jack chris but i dont know about jacking it up under the truck.
