Trans jack adapter for diff using Pittsburgh floor jack
Any suggestions for a trans jack adapter for the differential removal, to use on a Pittsburg floor jack and that fits in the jack pad hole. I’ve been looking and there are so many. I was hoping someone has found one that works and where to get it.
unless someone has a better suggestion?
thanks, Steve

Can you rent a Transmission Jack? The tci adapter looks perfect. But if you are rebuilding the differential, you'll most likely use twice, once to get it down, once to put it up.

This is what I used to install my differentials. I scoot them under the car and I lay beside the diff. I hold the crossmember with one hand so it won't fall off the jack. Then I raise the jack arm using my leg to pump the jack handle. I can eye ball raising the crossmember/diff so that the end female cups mate into the body male parts. Once I get the crossmember jammed to the body, I then just insert the crossmember end bolts. Easy Peasy.
