I am hoping to have my tranny and my non-acd Tcase out this week. Id like to get them sent off to AWD motorsports in hopes that they will be back before (or right at-) the end of the month.

Every quote i get is as rediculous as a no armed man playing the guitar.

..and what "class" is my **** gonna be? Is it better to put them on pallets or in boxes? Does anyone know hot much they weigh?

Thanks!

 

Easiest and cheapest is to drop it on a pallet.. If you need any help getting it together just PM.. I can help.. Thanks for considering us for your rebuild..

Hey will they both fit on a pallet?? So my mechanic is leaving the country on the 5th. If i get it sent out this weekend, what are the chances it will be back by -say- the 3rd?

=) And thank you for providing your services the evo community!

 

100% it will be back by the 3rd.. just got to get it on the move now so it doesnt get here after the 20th and make things tight.. sooner we can get it sooner i can get it back.. both will fit on the same pallett 100%..

im going to try annd bribe someone from my shipping department to do it!! we have pallets gallore and lots of shipping material. if not, do u have any idea what it will cost? and which is better.. fedex or brown? lol

 

Pm me and we can iron out the details..

I've shipped a trans with craters and feighters. They are someone that FedEx referred me to and it was about $300 to ship to New York from Idaho. It was an auto tranny too so it was heavier than a manual trans too.

 

well DB Shenker has the best price. 134 to ship my tranny and tcase to florida. but damn they have no way to insure the package for over 500$. thats chump change. I might have to pass them up and go with brown. i got a revised quote of 299.17 from them but i dunno if i got the length and width right. and thats if i put them into boxes. Fed Ex with my revised information was like 700$. ..right....

I am going to call this shipping place tomorrow. Shipping this stuff with out insurance to me is as stupid as driving an evo around the city with no insurance. I dont think i can bring my self to send my **** without insurance. that just seems stupid.

 

I have never had to make a claim with DB in 3 years however it is a gamble.. Ill PM you..

Mike

 

really?? thats a decent track record... I wonder if I should just go with DB. I was going to pay my mechanic a little cash to pack it onto a pallet but I wonder if i should just do it to make sure i get it nice and safe gaurded... hmm soo many decisions. Hey Mike, do people just strap the parts down to the pallet or do they cover them with bubble wrap and cardboard or build a fram around them or what?

 

We used to strap them straight to the pallet with tie downs like a ratchet strap.. Never had an issue.. Now we have a strap setup with nylon type straps thats a commercial setup.. As long as they are secure on the pallet they should be fine.. they move it with a fork lift or pallet jack..
