I have to do the clutch on my pig. The NV4500 and transfer case are just too heavy to manage, so I need some sort of transmission jack. Is Harbor Freight my best bet for a cheaper one? I need around 24" of lift.

Here's the jig I built for my floor jack:
I know, it looks kinda booty-fab, but it works awesome. I've lost count of how many times I've used it, in fact it's under a Tacoma right now doing a clutch job.
I say it's definitely the poor fit and finish of the adapter, and not the floor jack itself. For example, the fasteners feel like pot metal and notably light weight for their size. Like made of aluminum light.What if I made an adapter for my floor jack? I have plenty of steel and welders.
Was the issue the poor quality of the adapter or is using a regular floor jack the problem?
KLF's adapter is pretty cool.

I can't quite tell how KLF has his adapter secured to the jack, but it looks more stable than the HF version.
Then I drilled and tapped 4 holes into the jack at this spot. The adapter bolts to the jack here with 4 Grade 8 bolts.
