Why not just lift it up with an engine hoist, and put it on the transmission jack?
Maybe he doesn't have one?
How about getting another co worker over, and both putting it on the jack.
That video isn't a jacks fault at all.
Guy is full of bs.
Many times in my wrenching days i put heavy transmissions and transfer cases on jacks all by myself, using a engine hoist.
That guy is full of it, meaning s*#t.

I don't have an engine crane anymore....but do have a chain fall hanging from the rafters but imo, the guy has a point. That one is very tall. Seems most of the jacks on the market go down much further than that thing.....

At first look, the title of this thread could lead one to think something totally different....

Transmission Jack

He must have a hoist, otherwise why the hell would he want a device that lifts the transmission that high?

There's a lot of that going on.

If you need a transmission jack that height then your car must be up on a lift, you should have been able to use that same lift to get the trans on the jack, then lift up the car.

Thanks Joe for making the video. I too use a shitty single stage jack.
It's the going from $150 to about $1800 that prevented the purchase of a better one.

Commas are a very necessary and useful

if you try rolling a transmission jack up to an engine hoist you'll find the jack base usually crashes into the hoist legs.
and yes the price difference pushes many to the single stage jack...

1. Advance Auto apparently doesn't sell that jack.
2. OP doesn't own an engine hoist.
Duly noted...

But he has a lift. I would have strapped it onto one of the arms and let the lift do the work.
