Challenger CLHM-90 90-Degree Transmission Jack Adapter for Exhaust Clearance Applications
The Challenger Lifts CLHM-90 90-Degree Transmission Jack Adapter solves a common problem faced by transmission technicians: vehicles where the exhaust system runs directly alongside the transmission pan, preventing standard jack removal. This American-made adapter mounts to your existing Challenger CLHM-HTJ-1000 or CLHM-HTJ-1200 transmission jack and positions the transmission cradle at a 90-degree angle, providing the clearance needed to maneuver around exhaust components. Built to Challenger's professional-grade standards, the CLHM-90 is an essential accessory for shops working on modern vehicles with tight underbody packaging.
Challenger CLHM-90 Features
90-Degree Offset Design
The CLHM-90 positions the transmission saddle at a 90-degree angle relative to the jack column, allowing technicians to approach the transmission from the side rather than directly underneath. This offset provides the clearance needed to work around exhaust pipes, catalytic converters, and other underbody components that would otherwise block transmission removal.
Challenger Transmission Jack Compatibility
Engineered specifically for use with Challenger's CLHM-HTJ-1000 (1,000 lb capacity) and CLHM-HTJ-1200 (1,200 lb capacity) high-lift transmission jacks. The adapter integrates seamlessly with these jacks, maintaining their full lifting capability and stability during transmission service procedures.
American Manufacturing Quality
The CLHM-90 is proudly made in the U.S.A. at Challenger's Louisville, Kentucky facility. American manufacturing ensures consistent quality control, readily available replacement parts, and support from Challenger's domestic service network.
Professional-Grade Construction
Built to withstand the demands of busy transmission shops, the CLHM-90 features heavy-duty steel construction and precision engineering. The adapter maintains the strength and stability required for safe transmission handling while adding minimal weight to your existing jack setup.
Quick Installation
The CLHM-90 mounts directly to compatible Challenger transmission jacks without permanent modifications. Technicians can install or remove the adapter as needed, allowing the same jack to be used for both standard and offset applications depending on the vehicle being serviced.
Challenger CLHM-90 Applications
- Vehicles with Side-Mounted Exhaust: Modern vehicles often route exhaust systems directly alongside the transmission pan, making traditional straight-up removal impossible. The 90-degree offset provides the approach angle needed for these configurations.
- Professional Transmission Shops: Dedicated transmission rebuild facilities benefit from having both standard and offset capabilities to handle any vehicle that comes through the door without improvisation or delays.
- Dealership Service Departments: Factory service centers working on specific vehicle lines with known exhaust clearance issues can equip their transmission jacks with the CLHM-90 for faster, more efficient R&R procedures.
- Fleet Maintenance Operations: Fleet shops servicing vehicle platforms with consistent underbody layouts benefit from the predictable clearance the CLHM-90 provides for repeat transmission services.
- Performance and Specialty Shops: Shops working on vehicles with aftermarket exhaust systems, headers, or custom fabrication often encounter clearance challenges that the 90-degree adapter solves.

Challenger CLHM-90 FAQ
What transmission jacks is the CLHM-90 compatible with?
The CLHM-90 is designed exclusively for use with Challenger Lifts transmission jacks, specifically the CLHM-HTJ-1000 (1,000 lb capacity) and CLHM-HTJ-1200 (1,200 lb capacity) models. It is not compatible with transmission jacks from other manufacturers.
Why would I need a 90-degree transmission jack adapter?
Many modern vehicles route the exhaust system directly alongside the transmission pan, creating a clearance issue for standard transmission jacks that approach from directly below. The 90-degree adapter allows you to position the jack saddle from the side, providing the clearance needed to maneuver around exhaust pipes, catalytic converters, and other underbody components during transmission removal and installation.
Does the adapter reduce the lifting capacity of my transmission jack?
The CLHM-90 is engineered to work within the specifications of compatible Challenger transmission jacks. Always refer to the weight of the transmission you are servicing and ensure it falls within your jack's rated capacity. Follow all manufacturer guidelines for safe operation.
Is the CLHM-90 a permanent modification to my transmission jack?
No. The CLHM-90 is a removable adapter that mounts to your existing Challenger transmission jack. You can install it when working on vehicles that require exhaust clearance and remove it when performing standard transmission services, giving you flexibility with a single jack.
Where is the Challenger CLHM-90 manufactured?
The CLHM-90 is proudly made in the U.S.A. at Challenger Lifts' manufacturing facility in Louisville, Kentucky. American manufacturing ensures quality control and readily available parts and support.

How do I install the CLHM-90 on my transmission jack?
The CLHM-90 mounts to compatible Challenger transmission jacks using the included hardware. Installation is straightforward and does not require permanent modifications to your jack. Refer to any included instructions or contact Challenger Lifts technical support for guidance.
What types of vehicles commonly require a 90-degree adapter?
Vehicles with exhaust systems routed alongside the transmission pan often require the 90-degree approach. This includes many modern trucks, SUVs, and performance vehicles where tight underbody packaging or aftermarket exhaust systems create clearance challenges for standard transmission jack positioning.
Is the CLHM-90 covered under warranty?
