ABSTRACT:
A transmission stand for supporting front wheel drive transmissions. The transmission stand comprises a framework having a head portion, a base portion and at least two legs projecting forward from the base portion for stabilizing the transmission stand when the transmission stand is upright. Each of the legs includes a distal tip which acts as a fulcrum when the transmission stand is rotated from a generally horizontal position to an upright position and vice versa. The transmission stand further comprises attachment device pivotally mounted to the head portion of the framework, and pivotally adjustable about a pivot axis from a position generally forward of the head portion to a position generally on top of the head portion. The attachment device further includes support for supporting the bell housing of a transmission. According to a preferred embodiment, the support for the bell housing is rotatably mounted on the attachment device such that the support can rotate about a rotation axis. Preferably, the rotation axis remains perpendicular to the pivot axis. In addition, to accommodate a plurality of different transmissions, an adaptor plate is provided for adapting the transmission stand to different bell housings. A leverage bar is also provided for assisting a mechanic whenever the attachment device is to be pivoted from one position to another. Also provided, is at least one wheel to facilitate "dollying" of the transmission.
