t-56 weight?
t-56 weight? Curious how much they weigh so I know if the little 450 lb tranny jack will suffice.

awesome thanks. Though it seems to have some height issues if I use it with a kwiklift. i guess i can order some of those moving dolleys or something to put under it.

Dip Stick, I use a kwiklift as well. What I did was just use an old door I had around, cut it to 3' W x about 4' L and it's 2 1/2" thick. Then I just used the approach ramps that came with the kwiklift to guide the trans jack onto and off of the plank of wood. That gave me enough height to reach the transmission without any difficulty.

I have this one
http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/cta...temnumber=3185
It was on sale for $99, couldn't resist. Especially after I almost killed myself
(not really) removing it the last time
I picked up the dolly from Lowes, 900lb capacity and only $20.
You can easily make some spacers to fit between the casters to get the height you need.
I've loaned the jack to 2 friends of mine and they all LOVE it. Makes life SOOOOOO much easier.
I've weighed my T-56 @ 125lbs wet.
