Would this be sufficient for me to do transmission work in my garage? I'm planning ahead for CSC failure

800 Lb Low Lift Transmission Jack

I have a coupon for it for $110

I'm not sure but I think the 800 lb one should be plenty. My next options up are like 1000 then 2000 lbs. The options below 800 are practically in increments of 100 down to 400 lbs.

Yes.

so in other news, while i was doing the momo knob install win+1 last night on my G, since i had the shift trim off the car, i dug my hand up the dash to just under the HU where i was hearing a light buzzing noise at certain rpm under normal acceleration.

found a loose fuse holder from the stereo wire harness so taped that up. hopefully tomorrow during the test drive, i will not hear that buzzing any more.

oh i see.. yah, i cant see that tranny weighting 800lbs so should be okay?
im thinking maybe 300lbs? something nismo can just hold with his bare hands while doing the csc service with his other hand lol

2 more weeks.......

kenchan · 04-11-2014, 01:30 PM

so many things to test tomorrow...

steering wheel, steering wheel angle (i have a daikei as01 adjustment ring between the momo and worksbell to adjust steering angle as my G's steering is slightly cocked towards 11 o'clock that i can fix), steering feel, new shift knob feel, and buzz noise eliminate.

kenchan · 04-11-2014, 01:32 PM

mr.alcheng- nice!

kenchan · 04-11-2014, 01:34 PM

i too was considering a bbk on my G since im running those heavy wheels now... but the spokes take off angle is so low i only have like 5mm clearance from the brembo calipers. i dont know the exact back spacing dim.

i dont think i can even fit our Z's akebono's under there if i got infiniti logo'ed ones. oh well. guess use the $5K on my next car.
