Default Shipping Transmission

Hey guys what's the best way to ship transmission in a Rubbermaid container or pallet. N if anyone has any pics of hoe they did it post em up. I got quotes for about 300 doing either or, taking it to the terminal.

Tick Performance has a link with instructions. http://www.tickperformance.com/13-st...-transmission/

Pretty much #1 from the link

"Remove your transmission from the car and visit your local Wal*Mart-type department store. Purchase a 45 gallon Sterilite or Rubbermaid-type container like the one pictured above. You will also need plenty of packaging tape and material (cardboard, blankets, pillows, etc) if you don't already have them. (NOTE: Corvette, Viper and all TR-6060 transmissions require a 50 gallon container. Any container over 50 gallon will be charged a $50+ oversize fee by UPS.)"

Hope this helps

i had one come on a pallet, shrink wraped, tied down
you might find a trans container at a dealer they would give/sell you
be interesting to hear from vendors how they do it-not cheap though

I'll use cardboard boxes to cushion n support it. I have access to a **** ton if boxes at work. I unload and stock at target so I can just easily put some away for myself.

Just plug all the holes and put plenty of cardboard around it and box tape the hell out of it. The trannny will but thru the rubber made if its loose
