<div dir="ltr">Many years ago I had a rebuilt overdrive shipped to me in a cardboard box weight minimal packing material to protect it. It arrived with the part of the aluminum gear box that supports the stick shift snapped off. It had to have fallen hard. That cardboard box offered little protection.</div>

<div dir="ltr">Do take the time to crate it up. If you’re handy, think about minimizing weight. I went overboard during that incident and built a heavy, heavy duty crate to ship the broken trans back in so that it’s replacement would be shipped back in that crate! No doubt, that extra weight cost money! (I don’t recall the shipper and costs.)</div>

<div>I shipped a Miata trans to be rebuilt this year via UPS for $150 (95#}. Since it was going to be shipped back me I bought and used a transmission shipping box (Amazon about $100). I have heard of people using igloo coolers to ship trans. Might be less than the fee to have pack and ship pack it?
