High-Lift Telescoping Transmission Jack, 0.75 Ton 1660 lb

When you drop a transmission off a car sitting on a two-post lift, a low-profile floor jack cannot reach it and a bare pole leaves the unit swinging. This is a high-lift telescoping jack built for exactly that job: it rolls under the raised vehicle, extends up to meet the case, and takes the weight so you can pull the crossmember and the last few bellhousing bolts without the transmission dropping on you. The hydraulic ram runs off a foot pedal, so both hands stay on the transmission while you pump it up or bleed it down an inch at a time.

The saddle rises from 46.3 inches at rest to 78.7 inches fully extended, which covers most passenger cars, pickups, vans, and RVs raised on a lift. Rated at 0.75 ton (1650 lb), it is sized for the parts most shops actually pull one at a time: automatic and manual transmissions, transfer cases, and differentials. The frame is alloy steel rather than thin stamped plate, and it rides on four 360-degree swivel casters so you can line the saddle up under an angled tailshaft and roll the whole load out from under the car in one piece.

The foot pedal folds flat against the base when the jack is parked, so it stores in a corner without catching a shin, and the wide wheelbase keeps a top-heavy load stable while you move it. This is the tall counterpart to a low-profile transmission jack, not a replacement for one: use the low-profile style for units coming down onto a floor jack, and reach for this when the vehicle is up in the air and the transmission has to come down to you.
