Trans jack

[blacksnapon]

When you do transmission or clutch work, do you have a jack, or just bench press it?

I bench pressed my transfer case back onto my transmission

I'll let you know in a few weeks... LOL

Doing my rear main seal in a couple weeks and I'll definitely be using Andy's trans jack. The E4OD is HUGE!

When I worked at the GM place, I didn't have a lift or a trans jack. Not watching what I was doing, I removed a Chrysler 727 and NP 205 all at once from a Jeep. I had enough strength to lay it on my chest, and slide out on my creeper. Then I called the detail guys over to get it off of me!

Have you seen a 5R110W?? My buddy carried my spare to his storage unit by himself. Yet another reason I don't push him on time fixing my truck.

I have a floor jack that I built an adapter on that lets me use a jackstand upside down on top of it. It works perfect for a transmission jack. It sounds strange and dangerous but it works great and is stable. I'll try to remember to snap a pic tomorrow.

yeah no kiddin that maybe helpful here when we put mine back together.

I have built adapters for different style trannies for my floor jack, the main thing that sucks is getting it on the adapter, but then, the trans jack my friend has is the same problem, except at least mine lifts, his has the check valves out, due to his uncle overstressing it... tried to do a semi trans with a car jack...

Well..since we do not have a shop to work in (gravel driveway) we either lift them (small ones) or use a floor jack. The jack works ok as long as you slide a piece of plywood under there to roll it on.

I remembered to take a couple of pictures finally. This only works on lifted trucks though. My truck is tall enough to sit the tranny on top of the jack and still slide it underneath. Let the laughter commence!

Lol nice work Tony. Thats redneck ingenuity if I've ever seen it

What was that little cup adapter that started on it?

 

[surewhynot]

That lets the jack lift up the rear end high enough. It fits under the pumpkin. And without that on there, there is just the rod that holds the jackstand on. This jack is used for tall trucks. I have a regular un-redneck modified floor jack for normal things.

Do we really want to know that?? Sheesh!

Looks like the pulleys off of a crank on something.

Looks like your home made adapters work though.

Okay, and we were calling Ryan gay???

:thatwasgay:

 

[surewhynot]

Yes, it was a pulley. I welded it to a piece of 2x2 tubing and now it is a jack. I really have too much time on my hands. But, necessity is the mother of invention.

I've got an actual trans jack, I use it for the transmissions but I'll press the t-cases for the fact of them being light ('93 F-150, '84 Bronco, '86 F-250).


Its non hydro too, It's way older than me too. Photos to come when i can find some batteries.
