[s-cars] Re: Shipping help - transmission

[tlarson at tds.net]

If the transmission doesn't weigh more than 150 pounds it can be shipped Fed Ex.  I shipped my VR4 transmission from MN to FL for only about $120, and it just barely met the weight requirement (145 lbs).  Otherwise, when I had a rebuilt transmission shipped to me, it was shipped truck freight and was substantially more expensive, more or less double that price.  Good luck!

Sort of OT, but at least this is an Audi trans:

For those of you whom I have not already bored with this story, the
transmission in my A6Q Avant (automatic, of course) gave up the ghost this
past weekend on the way out to Paul K's for the Mihneathon.  I have listed
to car for sale as is, and I am trying to locate a good used tranny; I will
take the path of least resistance. 

I've found a trans....in Utah - far from New England.  Does anyone have any
info on shipping heavy stuff cross country?  Any contacts or other
suggestions?  Anyone have a used automatic Quattro trans?  Anyone want the
avant in it's current condition?
