The Laser Transmission Support Arm is designed for automotive technicians working on vehicle gearboxes. Its key benefit is enabling faster, safer, and easier gearbox removal and installation by providing hands-free, stable support that can be moved across three axes. A caveat is that for optimal engine stability during gearbox removal, Laser recommends using their specific Part No. 5750 engine support and 4842 support beam.

The Laser Transmission Support Arm has a safe working load of 200kg.
It is designed to fit vertical transmission jacks with either 25mm or 30mm diameter shafts. Please check your transmission jack's specifications.
Yes, the design allows for hands-free operation and significantly improved stability, making one-person gearbox removal and installation possible. However, for full engine stability, using additional Laser engine support is recommended.
The 3-axis movement allows the gearbox to be adjusted precisely in all directions (up/down, forward/back, left/right), greatly simplifying the process of aligning it for reinstallation or maneuvering it out of tight spaces.
This transmission support arm is made in the UK.
While the arm provides support for the gearbox, Laser recommends using Part No. 5750 engine support and 4842 support beam for optimal and stable engine support during gearbox removal.
Clean the arm with a damp cloth after use to remove dirt and grease. Inspect it regularly for any signs of wear or damage and store it in a dry environment.
Verify that the transmission jack shaft diameter is either 25mm or 30mm, as specified for compatibility.
Ensure the support arm is securely attached to both the transmission jack and the gearbox. Check that the overhead suspension point is stable and correctly engaged. Consider using the recommended Laser engine support (Part No. 5750) and support beam (Part No. 4842) for improved overall stability.
Check for any obstructions in the engine bay or transmission tunnel. Ensure all pivot points on the support arm are clean and free from debris. Confirm the gearbox is not binding against other components.
Do not exceed the 200kg safe working load. For heavier transmissions, use alternative lifting methods or multiple support points.
Setup: To set up, the support arm is typically suspended from an overhead point or a compatible support beam. Ensure the suspension point is secure and capable of handling the load. The arm then connects to a vertical transmission jack, provided the jack shaft is either 25mm or 30mm in diameter. Adjust the arm to engage securely with the gearbox.
Compatibility: This support arm is designed for use with vertical transmission jacks featuring 25mm and 30mm diameter shafts. It is suitable for use in tight engine bays and transmission tunnels across a wide range of vehicles. For optimal engine stability during gearbox removal, it is recommended to use Laser Part No. 5750 engine support and Part No. 4842 support beam.
Care: After use, clean the support arm with a damp cloth to remove any grease or debris. Inspect regularly for signs of wear or damage. Store in a dry place to prevent corrosion. Ensure all connection points are clean before each use.
