Hi!

My tranny\t-case blew and I found a replacement in Texas and one in NYC.

What I am trying to figure out is the weight of the tranny and t-case and also the dimension the box would have to be. This is very important, I need to get a shipping quote so I know how much money I have to save up.

For a 50x50x50cm 100lbs box FedEx charges 319$ from TX.

Best regards
Tobias
 
thanks for the answer :thumb:

guess i'm looking at 565$ for the tranny\t-case using fedex intl economy freight WTF
 
Why dont you get a trucking company to ship it for you? In the past I've paid about $125 on shipping form California to Washington state on shipping, and you wont need a box they strap it on a pallet and off it goes. :talon:

1G AWD transmission parts weight

Hi, maybe for some of you this information is useless as this don't qualify for weight reduction but for someone that is rebuilding a transmission outside USA its a precious info because of the high shipping costs. With that info I split the parts that I needed in two flat rate shipping boxes and I saved around $80 on the shipping cost.

Heres I found with a weight scale:

All the parts were removed from a 1992 AWD 5 speed transmission

Front Diff: 7.2Kg (15.9 lbs)
Center Diff 4Kg (8.8lbs)
Transfer case with oil inside: 15.5Kg (34.2lbs)

Transaxle case (without gearing but with shifting forks and guides): 20.2Kg (44.5lbs)
VCU LSD: 2.3Kg ( 5.1 lbs)
Intermediate Shaft Assembly: 6.3Kg (13.9lbs)
Intermediate Shaft (only the shaft, without gearing): 2.9Kg (6.4 lbs)
Input Shaft Assembly: 4.2Kg (9.3lbs)
Input Shaft (only the shaft, without gearing) : 1.5Kg (3.3lbs)


Maybe this info help someone

thanks for the space
