Abstract
An apparatus (10) for mounting a transmission (12) to an engine stand (14). The apparatus (10) includes a pair of mounting brackets (16) which are releasably secured to the transmission (12) and to the engine stand (14). Each of the mounting brackets (16) includes a mounting arm (18) and an extension member (30). Each of the mounting arms (18) is releasably secured to the transmission (12). The mounting arm (18) is secured to the extension member (30) which is removably secured to a rotatable mounting plate (46) carried by the engine stand (14). The mounting brackets (16) are configured such that when a transmission (12) is secured thereto, and the mounting brackets (16) are secured to the engine stand (14), a centroidal axis of the transmission (40) is coincident with the axis (56) about which the engine stand mounting plate (46) rotates.
