It was put into a cardboard box and shipped like that...The shifter levers bent but were able to be bent back...You should try to have the guy get a tranny shipping box from Nissan, Wooden Frame, and have him ship it in that..much better

If I figure the dimensions as what I think they will be, it will be (30x30x30) then, FedEx charges $200!!!

This is because those dimensions are above FedEx's limits, and they use their Freight service to ship it.

I really need the actual dimensions of that tranny to figure it out....but 30x30x30 seems about right.

You have the receipt anywhere? The actual dimensions would help one hell of alot....

The guy who's selling me it only seems to answer his E-Mail every 5 days or so, so I can't very well ask him and get a good answer.
