Abstract
A transmission hoist device is disclosed for converting an engine hoist and a transmission jack into a transmission hoist device. The transmission hoist device comprises a conventional transmission jack with, for example, a 2″×2″ sleeve that slides around a boom of an engine hoist. The steel adapter slides into the arm of the hoist and features an adjustable plate to hold a transmission for removal, repair, and/or replacement. Thus, the transmission hoist device combines a transmission jack and an engine hoist into one convenient tool.
