I need to ship a 914 transmission to California. Can this be shipped on Grey
hound bus lines? if so what type of container and other details as well. What is the cheapest and easiest way to ship this transmission to California?

I used Fedex ground and it was $90 to ship a trans from AZ to OH. I will fit in a rubbermaid container nicely. Dr Evil has instructions on his site (I think).

Side shift or tail shift ? the side shift will fit in a $15 storage container sold by Lowes or Home Depot.
No more than $90 cross country. Where is Pinnicle?

If it is a side shift elevate the bottom of the case so it does not rest on the shift console. Had one break when I did not support it. I used Fedex. Greyhound will probably ship it. compare rates. Greyhound is station to station and Fedex can be to their door. But you do miss meeting all the interesting people at the Greyhound station.

Big grey rubber maid tub from Walmart. Drain trans. Drill holes in the lip/edge of the top and secure with a hand full of zip ties. Expect shipping to run a tick under $100. That's the cost with having a FedEx personal account and the discount applied. Use the online estimate features most shippers have for a general idea.
