What company might be the best for shipping a trans axle, as far as price goes?

They will take it for around $85 shipped.
Grab a few 2X4 or 4X4 studs and bolt the case shaft down using the wood as stand offs. Make sure you then tie the 2 boards together with 2 additional boards to close all 4 sides. Use carriage bolts and pre-drill the holes on the bottom of the supporting boards to eliminate the teeter-totter effect. While you are at Home Depot for wood and bolts, buy a roll of that industrial plastic wrap that has a long cardboard handle and some packing tape - wrap the hell out of the case, cocooning everything inside the wrap. Obviously, drain the oil well and pack all holes with paper shop towels. Remove the shift console, brake light switch and speedo drive - pack and wrap and place them under the bell housing if room, if not, wrap in cardboard and tape to area behind starter hole. The unit will slide right into the belly standing up, but keep in mind that the GH shippers will use the most obvious handles for picking the package up - so make sure the cone and ears are supported/protected for this occasion... Good luck. |
