Ive removed near countless transmissions, from cars you don,t need a full lift in your shop,\
Ive done clutch and trans swaps and converter swaps with 4 12 ton jack stands for decades
with these tools.

youll need a quality high lift low profile floor jack thats no more than 3.5" tall flat on the floor and lifts to 20" minimum shop around theres a huge variation in floor jack quality

you could easily build 4 of these wood jack stand replacements for under $70, for all materials, simply have home depot cut 12 standard 2"x 4" boards into 15.5" lengths and a sheet of 1/2" marine plywood into 15.5 x 15.5 inch squares and obviously buy wood glue and lots of 3" deck screws

and a decent floor jack

IF you use the 4 12 ton rated jack stands you will want to use a transmission jack with the correct range of lift to make transmission nwork easy,
to me it sounds like you should be looking into a much better and taller set of roller castors that would both raise the height of the transmission at full height when the jacks extended and at the same time the larger diameter wheels would make rolling the jack much easier.
you can very easily test that out without making and permanent changes to the current motorcycle lift jack your using. simply cut two sheets of 3/4" marine water proof plywood, bolt them together with carriage bolts holding the casters , on a 30" x 18" base, so it matches the jack
Product Length 28-3/4 in.
Product Width 17-1/2 in.
and add 4 casters (don,t forget to cut holes in the doubled plywood base cart so the jack sits with its lower surface flush and cant roll off the cart,)

add 4 casters too the cart

remember theres plenty of under the car clearance when the 12 ton jack stands are in use.
and with the casters on a cart, built like described, the jack can easily lift a load to about 6" -7" higher, so instead of a 4.5"-to-19" lift range you go to about a 11"-25" range, so with the jack stands set to the correct range its a better match


BTW if your looking for a low lift trans support and lift jack,


IVE used and like this one above, which I paid 1/2 the cost of with a friend and would recommend as a decent option

IVE used and own, and don,t like this one below, much thats one reason I went in on the friends jack purchase
