Specifications

The Atec Trans-Tool T-0156-A is a robust transmission holding fixture designed to securely mount components for service. It offers a 250-pound weight capacity, accommodating a range of transmissions and other automotive components. The fixture features a full 360-degree rotation with positive locking stops at 90-degree increments, allowing for optimal positioning during intricate work. Its heavy-duty steel construction ensures stability and long-term durability.

Key Features

• 360-Degree Rotation: Allows for complete access to all sides of the transmission or component, with a swivel base that locks into multiple positions (vertical or horizontal) for precise orientation.
• Heavy-Duty Construction: Built from fabricated steel, this fixture resists twisting and bending under load, ensuring a stable work platform.
• Secure Clamping System: Hardened tool steel clamping screws with adjusting knobs firmly secure the transmission case. The top clamping screw often includes a swivel pad to prevent damage to aluminum cases.
