Maybe a cheap engine stand?
It would then mount to the front trans holes, the tailhousing holes, or the crossmember holes.

it kinda looks like a hitler hurse crout can v.w engine type set-up it looks like it can do the job

This would be a kent moore part, probably expensive. Go into any gm dealer and ask the tranny guy to look at his stand and get the part# off of it and then go to the parts dept and ask for the price.

that would be an easy couple hour fab job

I really hope not

franken · 03-25-2015, 09:22 PM

I'm confused. How does spending $220 on a tool to rotate a trans in an odd direction for 2 trans make sense?
I can make something from a 2x4 for $10 and reuse the parts for years. I like the right tool as much as anyone but unless you plan a career in home trans rebuilding, wrong tool.

A work bench with a 2 1/2" hole in it works.
