Silly question probably.. but I have no experience with these so I'll ask anyway, I currently need to have a couple small items pressed at the moment (roll pin at the transmission shift input and it's corresponding seal). I tried hammering the pin out with a hammer and punch but it didn't budge. Would one of the hand-lever activated, table top 1-ton presses be enough to get this done? I've got another couple of project cars that will need items pressed too, so I figured I might just invest in a small one. It's really hard to find anyone with the equipment and/or willing to bother in my area. A second hand unit would be less than they'd charge me anyway. Are these fairly effective or no?

QUOTE(mepstein @ Oct 29 2025, 06:36 PM)  Strange issue. I've disassembled dozens of trans at our shop and always used a punch and hammer. I got so focused on the roll-pin on the "ball / cup" end of the shifter console (which refuses to move with my hammer and drift), that I forgot there was another roll-pin on the other end, the selector end. The hammer and drift moved that roll-pin with no trouble. Thanks guys. |

It works fine but lacks the ability to adjust the width of the crossbar. We are doing about two trans a month but that will probably increase once we move into the new shop. We’ll be getting a better press shortly. |
