Try the freight shipping companies like Conway, they are much cheaper for that sort of thing than UPS. The tranny weighs about 115lbs or so. I got mine shipped from Canada to WA for $50, and I shipped an auto tranny to the east coast for $118.

115 sounds a little too heavy. i can carry mine around by myself no problem. heck, when i was putting it back into my car i sat it on my chest and lifted it in. there's no way it weighs more than 90-100 pounds.
Okay then, on a pallet, banded down with shrinkwrap, it weighs about 115lbs...

www.motorvate.ca says the 4th gen one weighs 107
3rd gen one is about that, somewhere close to 100 lbs like everyone said
