Shipping a Tranny
« on: September 29, 2008, 09:42:34 AM »
Hi guys,

Just wondering if any of you have shipped a transmission anywhere in the US. I'm shipping from Tennessee to Houston, TX. My buddy's trans dropped 4th gear :eek:.Was wondering if anyone has prices for shipping companies.

Any help is much appreciated.

The last time I shipped a tranny I just stuck him in a box with his high heels and make-up and dropped him off at UPS.  Oh and tape his mouth so he doesn't make any noise.  Highly recommended.

I've shipped a t56 by putting it on a pallet and dropping it off with Fed Ex. I don't recall what it cost but somewhere around $100.
