A lift jack adaptor for cradling a heavy irregularly shaped object such as an automotive transmission includes a rigid base for mounting to a lift jack and pairs of laterally spaced arms extending up from the base, the upper ends of those arms being terminated by flanges for engaging the underside of the object cradled in the adaptor. These flanges are fastened to the object and positively connect the object to the adaptor so that one can raise and lower the object using the jack and repair the object in relative safety.

A lift jack adaptor for cradling an automotive transmission to be lifted having a housing with a bottom opening closed by a deeply dished drop pan with a peripheral flange secured to the edge margin of the opening by bolts threaded into bolt holes in said opening edge margin, said adaptor comprising a rigid rectangular horizontal base having a length and a width; means for releasably mounting the base to a lift jack for lifting the transmission; two pairs of elongated vertical arms of substantially equal length, each arm having corresponding first and second ends; means for connecting the first ends of the arms of each arm pair to the base so that the arms of each arm pair are spaced apart along the width of the base and the pairs of arms are spaced apart along the length of the base, said spacings being such that said arms bracket the transmission pan; generally rectangular flanges at the second ends of said arms for supporting the transmission housing at said opening edge margin, said flanges defining a single horizontal plane spaced above the base a distance greater then the depth of the transmission pan, and bolt apertures extending through said flanges, each of said apertures registering with a bolt hole in the transmission housing so that the flanges can be bolted to the transmission housing with the same bolts that secure the pan to the housing.
