- still have some work to make it more secure, but this is the idea. The trans is not that heavy so I did not see the need to invest in a HD trans jack stand. I will see about making it lower by eliminating the dolly and just use a larger base to which I can directly attach the castors. I plan on getting the Z pretty high up so I am not overly cramped while doing the rear main seal/clutch/trans swap (5sp for the 4 speed this in it).

desperation is the mother of invention. its kinda brilliant really
shango066 common, your right.....but let's not tell him that!!!! I think he just needs a full blown lift in his garage! Common Dave, don't sell your soul out yet. I thought after the bike, you were going to go all out!!!! Lol!! Sorry, can't help it!!!!
oh yes a lift is coming, then I need a backup Datsun :), btw I went out to the field, 1st time in a long while, missed the pylon event, but there is a show they always put on I think it will be 12/31, may go for that.
I like the fact that you can swing it a few inches on each side .! 👍👍👍🤗🤗
Alright!!! I JUST bought one of those four wheeler dollies today and was wondering HOW I could use it for just THIS exact purpose! Outstanding!
Was thinking to make one like this now i decided to make one thnx for video👍
Wow because this is great job! Congrats and keep it up.
It did not in actual use work out that well, I popped for a purpose built trans jack. The biggest issue was It did not extend enough, might have worked if I did not have the car up as high as I did, but then I would have struggled working under a too low car.
How is the top plywood attached to the scissor jack?
just a single bolt. This while entertaining is not practical. Much better of buying a proper trans jack which is what I ended up doing. The main problem was it simply did not have enough range.
@@davewm9589 But it does. Put the wheels atop a blank or two, or three.
Hillbilly innovation, I love it, may I borrow it?
too hillbilly, I tried it but was just too unstable, 99$ harbor freight works perfect.
Dave WM I'm getting ready to do a similar on a Saab, I think I may go the Harbor Freight route, thanks!
yea its it a LOT easier with that tool. A couple other tips, Make sure you have enough clearance for the bell housing AND the jack to wheel out after you get it down. I used some home made guide pins (extra long mount bolts with the heads cut off to aid in re installing the trans. the jack get it close then you slide the trans on the bolts. Wiggle the trans on the engine (the pilot bushing and the snub of the input shaft have to line up perfectly). The extra long bolts keep the engine in the correct alignment while wiggling the end until they line up. After its in remove the extra long bolts (only need a couple) by grabbing the part sticking out, and replace with the correct bolts. Good luck with it, Don't know Saabs, but if its an older one like my old Z it should be easier to work on.
Dave WM Thanks Dave, Your procedure is similar to the procedure I've read about for Saab's, (using guide pins). What a pain to deal with for a $100 slave cylinder! Doing the clutch and rear main seal while I'm in there. The fun with older cars never ends :)
