Hey guys, a few people asked me about this back when I was looking for a transmission jack, so I thought I'd post up some pics of what I used. I was planning on getting an adapter off of ebay, but it was gonna be at least $50-$60 after shipping and I wasn't sure if it would even fit on my jack so I just decided to make my own for free. My dad is a custom cabinet maker so he has lots of scrap wood laying around and I just picked up a few pieces and the tie down strap the last time I was home. I could tell from the ones on ebay that they just replaced the swivel saddle on the jack, so I removed that from mine and drilled a hole in the center of the main piece to match and screwed some smaller pieces around the edges of the bottom to further keep it from moving around. I bolted it onto the jack then put a couple pieces on the top to support the transmission. The last step was to drill a couple holes in the bottom for the strap to hook onto. Not exactly high tech, but hey, it worked pretty good. So if you're a cheap bastard like me it might be worth trying
