Getting too old to bench press a Muncie so I need to find a trans. jack or make one. Obviously looking for something not real $$ but very functional. What's out there? TIA!

Rich you are probably right. I never used anything other than the cheaper HF jack and a modified floor jack. So maybe I don't know what I am missing.This is the one you want:

The cheaper HF trans jack is not very good and leave you with few options concerning orientation. The linked one above lets you tilt the support bed in every direction so you can just roll the transmission right into place. It is also very large and heavy and thus very stable. I used that one when doing the clutch on my 06 GTO so that was a Tremec 6-speed and if you aren't familiar with those, they are HEAVY. I strapped it down, tilted it this way and that and it slid right into place.
I originally had the cheap one and one time it fell over so I never used it again. It is very wobbly when set at the higher reaches and it doesn't have the all-directions tilt features.
Duke,Thanks for all the replies, guys! Am thinking that the one Rich mentions may be my ticket. Just hope it will go high enough to do the job after I raise the car some.
