[quote=Jeremiah]I have this and it has been flawless. It's a must have for a stick shift guy. Automatic will be even easier. "800 lb" Trans Jack https://www.harborfreight.com/automotive...jack-60234.htmlBuy this one and you won't be sorry. I had the one that goes in a floor jack. Then the cheapie small scissor jack and last year when one almost fell off it bought the Harbor Freight one listed above. It works GREAT. I just did the clutch on my NV5600 Cummins with that same jack. Keep in mind it's really meant for flat tranny pan automatics. You have to get creative in order to get it to cradle an oval shaped manual trans case. And I had to modify the chain set up some to get it to be reliable. That NV5600 they say is 400+ pounds and I believe it. It was nice being able to dial in the angle of the trans both vertically and horizontally so the input shaft could go right in. I would not waste money on the cheaper one they sell, the scissor type with the strap. Good advice. That is a big trans. I have used my setup for NP540s and you do have to add some hardware and use the little side things to prop the trans. We were prepared to be dissapointed. I'm still stoked on it years later as it is the only jack here that doesn't leak down overnight.

This is what I've used the last three years, but ditched the supplied strap and put a smaller one on. I use a cordless impact to run it up and down. Harbor Freight Jack It also works well for sliding 8 3/4 centers out of the housing too.

Should do a pole here how many of us put transmissions in off our chest I was a helluva lot younger then. If I remember right a new process four speed weighted 126 pounds and I pulled and installed mine in my 72 Duster three times in one evening. And then the race was rained out the next day. Car up in the air on stands, rolled the transmission on my chest, and lifted it up in. Of course I was 20 years old back then.
1970 Duster Edelbrock headed 408 5.984@112.52 422 Indy headed small block 5.982@112.56 mph 9.42@138.27

I decided to save time and leave the reverse rod hanging on the trans. When I slid it out of the disc and bellhousing the trans slipped in my hands a little. Luckily for me the reverse rod stuck squarely in my solar plexus. I couldn't even yell for help. I managed to get it set down without dropping it.
