Good day to all,
I have purchased a od transmission and i have to arrange transport from BC to Montreal. I am shopping arround for a transport company but the same question keeps on being repeted. How much does it weigh... Does anybody know the weight of an OD transmission?
Thanks
PS. Anybody know of a good transport company the transmission is ready to go and straped on a skid.
Did a surch figured about 75 lbs. should have done the serch before posting...
I weighed a transmission recently at about 90 pounds, and it was not an overdrive transmission.
90 pounds sounds heavy. Only because I just moved five of them in my garage to drain the oil, label them, etc. and my back did not hurt the next day :)

Greyhound works great. I've shipped some doors to Northern Ontario and a rad to Edmonton. Both cases, parts arrived within a week.
Don't know if they do pickup as I've always taken the parts to them.
I bought an overdrive transmission a couple years ago and had it shipped by UPS and it was under 100 lb, I'm quite sure it was between 80 and 90.

Got a quote from SameDay at $ 106.00, i told them total weight 120 lbs with the 4X4 skid.
I guess 75 Ontario pounds equals 100 West pounds. Who'd have thought there'd be this segregation (sp?) across this great land of ours?
I shipped one by DHL recently at 133 lbs. Now, this was in a home-made bullet-proof multi-layer cardboard box with styrofoam block packing, not a bubblewrap and tarp chucked on a greyhound, so the packing contributed a bit to the total. Just by heft, I would guess ~90#.
