Re: Any recommendations for a transmission jack and process?

I have a transmission jack and don't prefer it.

It is the scissor type. Going down is ok, but going up it wants to veer off to one side or the other, eventually dumping the trans off the pad.

I have gone back to using my hydraulic floor jack. I had made a special base that replaces the pad on the floor jack and encapsulates the trans pan but I don't prefer it either. Simply balancing the trans on the floor jack seems to give me the most freedom to maneuver the trans where I want it.
