Just stopped back by to look at a few things, noticed the transmission fixture I uploaded had a bit of discussion followed by removal. I don't know how to join the conversation there (Aha! Got it now!), but let me relay a few things if I might add. I use the fixture almost daily, and have so for the last ten years when I built the thing (based on a old OTC catalogue I saw some years ago). I've used the fixture on everything from C4's to E4OD's without a single incident (save for the E4 being too long to rotate 360*, LOL!). The drawing is in AutoCAD, FWIW. I'm a mechanical engineer by trade with 23 years experience designing seismic equipment (off-road vibrators, marine streamers), diesel-electric hybrid buses, and been a fairly active car guy for over 33 years (do quite a bit of trans work, rear end work, SFC's, rollbars and cages, make disc brake conversion brackets, and a -very- good reputation for my quality, performance, and value)... | Just stopped back by to look at a few things, noticed the transmission fixture I uploaded had a bit of discussion followed by removal.

| − | I'm leary of some of the other suggestions on the fixture page (a bucket?! Come on...), and am confident by design and use that the fixture I detailed and uploaded is safe and sound...the span of the fixture picks up half the bellhousing. Care for some pictures? | + | I'm leary of some of the other suggestions on the fixture page (a bucket?! Come on...), and am confident by design and use that the fixture I detailed and uploaded is safe and sound...the span of the fixture picks up half the bellhousing, and uses as many holes as it can pick up (based on your trans BP; I typically only use two for AOD/4R's, TH350-700R4, but three on the E4). The trans his very nearly vertical and horizontal (left to the skill and accuracy of the folks laying the holes out). Care for some pictures? |
