Fuggin Freight company destroys my tranny they were to ship
I just check my voice mail on my cell phone and i find out that they somehow dropped my tranny that I was shipping to another board member and that its now leaking whatever fluid is left in my tranny. I have to go see it tomorrow and at least they are offering to pay for it, at least its hour and a half outta my way

Also, why'd you use a freight company? Transmissions aren't that big. Most people just pack and double-box them and ship with UPS or FedEx.

I believe they come out around 75-80lbs boxed up.
I've never had a problem shipping transmissions UPS. I go to Uhaul and buy one of their big tv boxes. Cut a piece of plywood to lay in the bottom of the box (or home depot has the right size pre-cut). Then buy a sheet of foam house insulation to cut up. I lay one piece in the bottom, and cut the rest up to line the sides and top.
I used to strap the tranny down to the plywood - which should make it more secure, but I keep forgetting lately.

My GS-R tranny was 110lb's, double-boxed, (2) 2'x4's, foam board, tape, packing and all.
I'd say a bare tranny is closer to 90 to 100lb's. It went via Fedex Ground and arrived safely to its destination in NC.
