Well, I am getting a great deal through centennialstang on here for my 5 spd swap. But I am having trouble finding a way to package and ship. I put some numbers into UPS and the lowest was over $300. anyone have any suggestions for packaging and shipping a trans,clutch and flywheel? any help is greatly appreciated. thanks

Don't know about the best way to package it, but make sure you check it thoroughly for cracks when it gets there. I ordered a T56 from D&D recently. Soon as it got here I took it to the shop that was gonna do the work. Got it in, filled it with fluid, and it started dripping from a crack. Was a pain to get them to replace it, but it was the shipping companies fault. Both my mechanic and D&D agreed from looking at it it looked like the shippers had hit it with the edge of a fork lift.

So uh, don't let them use a fork lift I guess....
