I have used 4-ton floor jacks before as transmission jacks, though they often leave something to be desired. I have also used serious truck transmission jacks, but never to remove a transmission and transfer case together.
I consider looking for a transmission jack, so I have one whenever I really need it. My late model truck is a 2001 with the 6-speed, but being prepared for other configurations is good, too.
What do you feel is the transmission jack you would choose if you could? I am meaning a jack for use on the floor, not a jack for under a lift.
Are you fabricating any pieces to allow the jack to better engage with the shape of the transfer case or transmission? Are you typically removing the transfer case first, and then the transmission?
I would rather look for a good jack at my leisure, rather than make do when a crisis comes.
I am interested in your thoughts. Thanks....
