Transmission Work Stand

[California Charlie]

I've been helped several times from this site that I thought I would pass this information on to those working on rebuilding their transmissions. I ran across this a while ago, and from memory I constructed this transmission stand with perhaps a few improvements.



Some of you may be familiar with this transmission stand made simply from 3/4" pipe fittings. It worked great for me and made the rebuilding assembly of the transmission very easy.

Looks handy - good work.

Handy, but all that pipe can be expensive.

But for guys like me that don't weld, --

to save pipe expenses...I have seen this same idea done with just the 3/4 downpipe coming off the trans drain hole with a T fitting at the bottom and clamped in a vise.

Looks good...but, isn't that a lot of stress on the area where the drain plug goes?

I use a short piece of pipe and fit the lower end into a 2 x 12 about a foot long.
Cheap and easy tranny holder.

I do the same, with a hole in the 2 X 12 sose I can direct solvent used to preliminarily clean the gearbox (before disassembly) into a metal pan below for waste removal.
