I've also done well with Oak Harbor Freight, as an alternative to Big Brown.

I just had one sent ups.
They have a 150 # weight limit, so no problems.
Cost was $ 79 from Texas to Calif.
Drained of oil (important), wrapped and put in a couple of garbage bags,
then into cardboard box.
It MUST have a couple of heavy straps so they have something to grab.

Who's got some ideas on shipping a manual transmission? Weight is 116
pounds, and I don't think that includes the crate. Going from KY to CT.
Anyone done this without breaking the bank?

Thanks,
Ed in CT
