Comparison points and tradeoffs
When comparing ATD 7430 1000 lbs Telescopic Transmission Jack with other Transmission Jacks options, use this source-backed detail as the primary discriminator: Features include rugged steel wheels and full swivel ball bearing casters, a unique handy release pedal that provides safety in lowering the load, and an adjustable ratchet style saddle for quick adjustment for most pan configurations.
Use this second fact to evaluate the tradeoff: It has a saddle base of 8-7/8 inch x 7-1/8 inch and an expandable area of 11-1/2 inch to 21 inch. A third point to compare across alternatives is: The extra-wide base on this ATD transmission jack lowers center of gravity and promotes stability.

I borrowed a friends transmission lift but not only a very cheap unit but fell short by about 10″ in lift.I saw a few that had high lift but this one claimed to top out at over 78″. So bought it and when I opened the box I was amazed at the size and how well made it was. I was thrilled and was glad I invested a little more to get it.I did have to add about a quart of fluid so you might want to make sure you have some on hand for setting it up. I would strongly recommend this lift to anyone. Worth the money.

This jack broke after 6 months and the seller will not warranty it, they stated I need to contact the manufacturer. The manufacturer says they are responsible?

Either these jacks are junk or I am extremely unlucky. The first one I bought (not from Amazon) was so bad it wouldn’t even lift its ram, let alone a transmission. I complained and they sent me another one. They are so cheaply built they didn’t even want the first one back. After using the second one a few times without incident, it started leaking so badly that I couldn’t use it. I’ll try to repair both of them but I’m not hopeful.
