Challenger CLHM90 90-Degree Transmission Jack Adapter

Some transmissions just don't cooperate. When the exhaust runs close to the transmission pan, there's no clean angle to drop the trans with a standard adapter. That's exactly what the Challenger CLHM90 90-degree transmission jack adapter solves. It rotates your working angle so you're not fighting the vehicle's layout every time you pull a gearbox on a tight-clearance application.

It's made in the U.S.A. and built to work specifically with the CLHM-HTJ-1000 and CLHM-HTJ-1200 Challenger transmission jacks. If your shop already runs either of those units, this adapter drops right into your workflow without any improvising or workarounds.

Key Features & Benefits

90-Degree Adapter Angle Clears exhaust routing that blocks standard straight-on transmission removal, so you can work cleanly without repositioning the vehicle or removing additional components.
CLHM-HTJ-1000 & CLHM-HTJ-1200 Compatible Fits both Challenger mobile column transmission jack models, so you're not locked into a single unit if your shop runs both.
Made in the U.S.A. Domestic production means consistent quality control and no guesswork on material or build standards.

What's Included

  • CLHM-90 90-degree transmission jack adapter

Applications

Exhaust-Restricted Transmission Removal

Vehicles where the exhaust path runs adjacent to the transmission pan, blocking a straight-on drop. The 90-degree angle gives you the clearance you need.

Shops Running CLHM Mobile Column Jacks

If you're already using the CLHM-HTJ-1000 or CLHM-HTJ-1200, this adapter extends what those units can handle without adding another piece of equipment to the floor.

Warranty

The CLHM-90 is covered under Challenger Lifts' accessories warranty: 90 days on parts and labor.

This warranty applies to the original purchaser only and is not transferable. Coverage requires that the adapter be installed and used according to Challenger Lifts specifications. Use of unapproved parts or accessories voids the warranty. Repairs attempted by anyone other than a Challenger Lifts authorized service representative are not covered.

Warranty registration may be required after purchase. Refer to included documentation for details.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which Challenger transmission jacks is the CLHM-90 compatible with?

The CLHM-90 is designed specifically for use with the Challenger CLHM-HTJ-1000 and CLHM-HTJ-1200 transmission jacks. It's not a universal adapter, so make sure you're running one of those two units before ordering.

Why would I need a 90-degree adapter instead of a standard one?

On some vehicles, the exhaust routing runs directly alongside the transmission pan, which blocks clean access for a straight transmission drop. The 90-degree angle on the CLHM-90 shifts your approach so you can clear the exhaust and remove the transmission without fighting the vehicle's layout.

Is the CLHM-90 covered under the same warranty as Challenger lifts?

No. Challenger accessories, including the CLHM-90, carry a 90-day warranty on parts and labor. This is shorter than the structural and functional parts warranties on Challenger lift models. Warranty registration may be required after purchase; refer to included documentation for details.

Is this adapter made in the U.S.A.?

Yes. The CLHM-90 is manufactured in the U.S.A., consistent with Challenger Lift's broader product line.

Can I use this adapter with transmission jacks from other brands?

Challenger specifies the CLHM-90 for use with the CLHM-HTJ-1000 and CLHM-HTJ-1200 only. Using it with other jacks isn't supported and could void your warranty. If you're unsure about fit, call us at (855) 498-2147 before ordering.

Q: Which Challenger jacks does the CLHM-90 fit? A: Compatible with the CLHM-HTJ-1000 and CLHM-HTJ-1200 transmission jacks only. Q: Why use a 90-degree adapter? A: For vehicles where exhaust routing blocks standard straight-on transmission removal. The 90-degree angle clears that obstruction. Q: What warranty does the CLHM-90 carry? A: 90-day accessories warranty on parts and labor. Warranty registration may be required; see included documentation. Q: Is the CLHM-90 made in the USA? A: Yes, manufactured in the U.S.A. Q: Can I use this adapter with non-Challenger jacks? A: No. It's specified for CLHM-HTJ-1000 and CLHM-HTJ-1200 only. Use with other jacks voids the warranty.
