we always just made a plate that would go onto a normal floor jack.
it would be a flat plate with a pipe on the bottom with some little ears to kinda fit around the pan.
I have also just used a floor jack and a 2x4 on the tranny pan.
I have a lift now and have done 4 or 5 clutch jobs in front wheel drive cars and just heave them in and out.
Well whatever way you go good luck. Trannies can be frustrating at times.
