Be careful. I live outside Washington, DC, Early this year I purchased a 
perfectly good OD trans from someone in Pittsburgh. The trans weighed 114 lbs 
and cost about $50 to ship. It was packed very well but somehow UPS managed 
to drop it. They broke a 3" chunk out of the bell housing where the starter 
mounts. All worked out OK for me after 3 months of phone calls. I paid $500 
for the trans and it was insured for that amount. I was able to keep the 
trans and got my money back. Anyway double the packing on both ends and make 
sure it is insured. If any one wants an OD Trans make me an offer. Its still 
in the UPS approved packing.
