    What s a good Transmission jack stand

    The slave cylinder’s been leaking slowly for a while on the gen2 and I’m thinking of replacing it soon. I’ll be doing the work on a 4 post lift.
    For those of you who have done this on a lift, what kind of jack/stand did you use to support the transmission and slide it back? Anything in particular I should look for while shopping for one?

    Thank you in advance.

    I didn't have a lift when I did mine...back in the olden days...was a bit of a PITA. Good luck.

    They're worth every penny. I've used it for other things besides pulling transmissions. I got this one on eBay. No name brand. Very well built. 68" from floor to metal top plate at full extension. The jaws and chains didn't work very well on the Viper so I use my old home made 2x4 fixture that I used to use with a floor jack.

    a BIG PLUS 1 here. I have the same Harbor Freight jack and it works fabulously.

    Thank you for the feedback everyone.

    I’ve been reading up on the Harbor Freight ones and saw mixed reviews. Good to hear that it’ll do the job. I’ll prob order the 1100lbs one later in the week.

    Mine is from Northern Tool. I cut a section out of it so it would work on my lift since with my garage height, I can't fully raise the car. Love the trans jack though.
