The jack is rated for 0.6 T (0.6 metric tons), which is 600 kg (approximately 1323 lb). Do not exceed this rated capacity.
It's designed for removing and installing gearboxes, transmissions, transfer cases and other drivetrain components on cars, light trucks and motorcycles, provided the component weight does not exceed 600 kg and the shape fits the saddle or adapter.
Position the jack beneath the transmission, center and secure the load on the saddle (use adapters/straps if supplied), slowly raise with the pump handle until it contacts the load, align and support with proper jack stands before working, and use the release valve to lower slowly. Never work under a load supported only by the jack.
Most transmission jacks of this type include safety features such as a pressure relief/overload valve and a release valve for controlled descent. Always consult the product manual for specific safety equipment and operating limits.
Some assembly is typically required (installing the handle, saddle, casters/wheels and attaching fittings). Basic hand tools such as wrenches and screwdrivers are usually sufficient — check the included assembly instructions for exact requirements.
Regular maintenance includes keeping moving parts clean, checking for hydraulic oil leaks, inspecting seals and fasteners, lubricating pivot points, and replacing hydraulic oil per the manual. Store it in a dry place and periodically check the welds and casters for wear.
Use the hydraulic jack oil recommended in the product manual. Do not use brake fluid, engine oil, or other non‑specified fluids. If the manual is unavailable, contact the manufacturer for the correct oil type.
Many transmission jacks have a tilting saddle or adjustable adapters to help align irregular loads. Verify whether this specific model includes a tilting mechanism or adapter accessories in the product specifications.
Inspect the hydraulic cylinder, hoses and fittings for oil residue, damage or loose connections. If performance is weak (won't hold or raise properly), check fluid level, bleed air from the system according to the manual, and replace damaged seals or components before further use.
Spare parts and accessories are often available from the manufacturer or authorized dealers. Contact Garage Tools or your seller with the model number to order compatible saddles, straps, replacement seals or casters.
Transmission jacks generally have casters or wheels for mobility and a handle for steering. Portability depends on build weight and wheel configuration; check product specs for the jack's net weight and wheel type to confirm how easy it is to roll around your workspace.
No. A transmission jack is specifically designed for lifting and supporting transmissions and drivetrain components, not for lifting an entire vehicle. Use a properly rated floor jack and certified jack stands to lift and support vehicles.
Ensure the transmission is properly supported and centered, remove any alignment hardware only when safe, lower slowly using the release valve while a second person guides alignment, and never place body parts beneath an unsupported load.
Lower the saddle to its lowest safe position, clean away dirt and oil, drain or top up hydraulic fluid if advised by the manual, and store in a dry, secure area protected from extreme temperatures and corrosive environments.
Warranty terms vary by retailer and region. Check the product packaging or contact the seller/manufacturer for warranty length, coverage details and customer support contact information.
