I'm looking for a Low Profile Transmission Jack. I do not want the floor jack adapter type. Most I've seen on ebay lift only to 24". That too low to fit my fat @ss under the car at that height plus, sliding out the tranny.

A high of 3' would be ok, and a 4' would be great. But I'm not going to pay over $300. Shipping cost are also pretty high.

Have you seen any good to high quality in this apx. size ?

I don't think the product you are looking for is actually a dedicated transmission jack. I think you will have to approach this differently and work on getting the car higher in the air and then perhaps using a motorcycle jack like this one:

BTW, don't you have a lift? I thought you sponsored a group buy?

I do have the Max-Jax lift but, I want a trans. lift that will go up at least, 4'.
3' is a little too low.

Contact Transportation Specialties in MN. they sell all kinds of tools and jacks--way higher quality than Harbor Freight and have from econo import to the upper mainstream shop supply for dealerships--I bought my transjack for around 300

I just used a motercycle jack I bought at sears for for I think around 80.00 bucks, works great .

on original based Cobras you don't need a jack, take out the tunnel and you can easily take out your transmission !!!

With my new two post lift, it would be a lot easier than the tunnel. This lift is made for the home garage height of only 8' or higher, I have a 9' ceiling. That's why a little,.....shorter jack would be great.
