BIG RED TR4076 Torin Hydraulic Roll-Under Transmission Service/Floor Jack: 1/2 Ton (1,000 lb) Capacity, Red

I bought this particular transmission jack NEW not used which when I received seems to look like it has been upgraded. This jack did not look like the one on the box that it came in. Not even the parts and instruction manual matched it. This transmission jack has a very good chain to lock the transmission down, The knobs to adjust the angle are black and larger and look more durable then the one in the picture. The brackets that support the transmission are thicker. The jack lefts the transmission pretty good without going back down. I used this jack to put a 4L60E transmission in a 98 sonoma. Everything works good on it. Like I said earlier, this jack looks upgraded, do to all the problems that other people had on the earlier models before Jun 2015. I would recommend this because its affordable and the construction is and looks durable. This jack comes apart so like a car braking down and replacing parts this jack is repairable . I repaired many car jacks and usually they just need a better seal on them and they will last, as long as you take good care of them. IF you want a Torin TR4076 jack to work good buy a NEW one Not a used one.

works great

Weather-defying reliability! Withstood monsoon rains and freezing temps. Outdoor performance matches indoor consistency. UV protection prevents fading. Installation crew was expert and efficient!

Almost smashed my hand when cheap washer broke! I was impressed with what looked like a quality product.Nice finish, good welds, easily maneuvered under the weight of a rather small transmission.Then I heard a loud pop and the transmission fell to right then stopped. My hand was on the adjuster knob and but I quickly and luckily let it go in time. When the transmission slammed to the right it stopped on the adjuster knob.The cause was a cheap 25 cent washer that broke (gave way) allowing the jack to shift the load.I then took the handle apart and replaced the washer with a quality one and for good measure replaced ALL the cheap washers.On a $200 jack you should expect a quality washer set.*** Update ***The hydraulics are faulty. the jack handle works 2-3times then has no resistance. In other words, pump the handle 2-3 times then nothing.. it just goes limp.I don't normally say this in reviews.. but this jack is absolute junk!

The construction of this Jack is good. However, the parts are cheap and break easy.Do not recommend using for an Allison transmission or larger.This thing almost killed me. Jacked up the trans had to told 1/8" to align dowels and the damn thing broke and flopped the trans to one side and flipped the whole jack. Almost ruined a $15,000 built transmission.If you're going to use this. Take the whole pedistal apart and use nuts instead of the cheap Chinese washers it's sent with.You're literally "hanging by a thread"

Bought this jack to do a clutch on a 4x4 Tacoma V6. Glad I did! Jack is great. Worked well pulling the gearbox and transfer all in one. The ability to adjust the platform worked really nicely and it held up to the weight no problem. Only thing I was not much for was the chain system to hold the gearbox in place. Just did not like the look of this. Instead I bought a small ratchet strap that had enough strength and used that. Much more secure! Jack was easy to use, move around and jack up and down even in tight spacing. Glad I bought it as could easily have been a major accident waiting to happen trying to use a regular floor jack or some such. Worth the price just for the safety and piece of mind.

this is the same jack you can buy at the AutoZ store. Mine was received damaged though, as it is too heavy to shipped in factory box. It must have been too hard to put it inside another box in the warehouse! Other than that, this jack is nice. It adjusts forward and backward and side to side, so it makes working on a transmission much easier. I always did the floor jack and a piece of wood - which was very dangerous and I have dropped transmissions often onto the floor this way. Never again - with this jack you don't have to worry. The safety chain is a bit awkward and hard to use. I just use a tie-down strap. The swivel handle is great. I was able to lift a tranny into a car all by myelf - just rotated the handle so I could lift it while under the car. The release is a valve type handle - if you are very careful when opening the valve, you can precisely lower the jack - but be careful because it also easy to turn too far and you will drop fast! Overall, I love this thing.

I do heavy truck work and light vehicle work. I've used transmission Jack's for both applications. Some people buy a Jack that is made and priced for a lighter application, then complain it doesn't hold up in heavy applications. Big Red did a good job on this product and priced it at the best value out there. If the vehicle your working on has a diesel engine, don't get this jack. This is a well designed and built jack for passenger vehicle work.
