ABSTRACT:
A novel attachment for a motor vehicle transmission jack of the type having a lift arm adapted to raise and lower motor vehicle transmission parts at its forward end. The attachment is adapted to support a fully assembled 4-wheel drive transmission unit, including the transfer case and the motor vehicle transmission support bracket, independently of a motor vehicle. The attachment includes a base member adapted to be connected to the forward portion of the lift arm and having a support portion adapted to supportably engage the motor vehicle transmission support bracket substantially vertical of the forward end of said lift arm. The attachment also includes a forward support member rigidly secured to the base member, having a support portion adapted to supportably engage the forward portion of the transmission. The support portions of the base member and the forward support member are spaced relative to each other to support the motor vehicle transmission unit in a substantially horizontal position.
The method of removing a fully assembled 4-wheel drive transmission unit, including the transfer case and the motor vehicle transmission support bracket, from a motor vehicle utilizing this type of transmission jack and attachment includes positioning the jack under the transmission unit. The method further includes activating the jack to substantially simultaneously supportably engage the motor vehicle transmission support bracket and the forward portion of the transmission, disconnecting the transmission unit from the motor vehicle drive train and disconnecting the motor vehicle transmission support bracket from the motor vehicle.
