ABSTRACT:
An automobile dolly for supporting the front end of a front wheel drive vehicle during transmission repair. The dolly of the present invention comprises a wheel supported frame sufficiently narrow to pass between the tracks of a vehicle hoist. A rear tubular transverse support is attached to the frame and inward from and spaced above the tracks, with a pair of opposed transversely adjustable rear sleeves telescopically engaging the rear tubular transverse support and adjustably projecting over the tracks. A vertically adjustable support member is attached to each opposed rear sleeve and configured to abut and support the vehicle. A front tubular transverse support is spaced from the rear tubular transverse support and attached to the frame and is spaced inward from and above the tracks. A pair of opposed transversely adjustable front sleeves telescopingly engage the front tubular transverse support to adjustably project over the tracks. A vertically adjustable support member is attached to each opposed front sleeve and configured to abut and support the vehicle so that support of the vehicle's front end may be transferred from the hoist to the dolly and the vehicle moved using the dolly wheels during transmission repair.
