I separated mine, packed the final drive and torque converter in one box and the rest in another. All packed in heavy duty bags and lots of peanuts/bubble pack. FedEx took them for under $200, much cheaper than freight.

If you don't have it crated yet, remove the bell housing and the tail section and it will then fit in a large "Rubbermaid" tub. Makes it easy to handle and keeps any fluids at bay. I also wrapped it in a Heavy weight commercial type plastic bag and used a freight forwarder I found in line and it was under $100.00 from California to Virginia a few years ago.

What's up everyone,

I'm in the process of getting quotes and arranging shipping of a transmission (total weight about 200lbs) from the Minnesota area to NH.

currently I'm looking at quotes on Uship and was curious if anyone has recommendations for shipping companies and price points.

Or you know, if anyone happens to be coming from Minnesota to NH that'd be great too :)
