Heavy Duty T-0158 Transmission Clutch Drum Spring Compressor Transmission Tool for Ford C-hrysler GM A904 Transmission, T-0158-HD Z-7500-HD - Fit Most Common Clutch Drums Up to 6" in Size

Works really goodI used it for a 4l60e transmission rebuild, and I can see now that there could be several uses besides transmission work.I would recommend this tool to others.

Totally did the job for most needs for my 6l80 rebuild. Legs are a little short for any large drum. Threads suck on the tool and are not smooth.Overall it worked for my one trans build. Don’t expect to use this over and over though. I don’t think it will last but for the price can’t complain.

The clutch drum compressor tool bent halfway through use, and its arbor wouldn’t adjust smoothly, making it impossible to compress any springs without risking injury.

Works great. Saves me a lot of time and trouble.

As you can see from the picture, I'm in the middle of a rebuild of a 4L60E and have traditionally made my own tools. I have several other transmissions I'll be rebuilding using this as well. When this showed available I had to snap it up! It's made of decent enough metal (doesn't feel soft) but my only complaint (hence why I took a star off) is that it doesn't come with any means to mount it to a bench or table.Granted, I can probably whip something up myself but it would have been nice to have some pre-determined method to mount it (c-clamps? built-in clamps? mounting holes for people who use it often?) That's the only reason I took a star off. Otherwise it's a budget compressor - which I won't complain about it because my alternative has been making my own!Side note: I'd grease the threads for the compressor to make it easier. A grease that'll handle high pressure (not that I think it'll need super high pressure BUT it is a compressor tool!)

Works great

The transmission tool felt cheap and awkward to use, failing to provide the necessary leverage and precision.
