Floor tranny jack

crash2 · Mar 2, 2015

So my 30 year old floor tranny jack was also taken when we were robbed so looking for a replacement. That thing was awesome to have and helped my one man band ability.

Looking for something decent and I know how much the "high end" once cost. So looking for some input...

I bought this one a while ago and have used it a lot. Great tool for the price..

I have the harbor freight one. Got it open box return for like $90. I have no complaints. Goes up pretty high. And the saddle or whatever you wanna call it adjusts side to side and front to back. and the jack handle swivels around both sides if your in a awkward position

Mike, you might want to go cheap on a floor tranny jack since you plan on installing a lift soon. Then you will want a tall one for under your lift.

What about one of those adapters that just goes onto a floor jack?

I got a upper end one at the swap meet a couple of years ago.

I have the same one. Works fine, but I've only used it twice so far.

Thanks for the input folks. I ran and grabbed the 800# version this morning. After using a screw style jack for many years not sure this hydro unit will work like the old one--but should do...
