I shipped an entire unit 3 years ago and it was around $400. I have an
overdrive unit there at the moment but with the exchange rate where it is,
it was going to cost >$500. The restoration shop (Laycock "A"-type OD on a
TR6 gearbox with a strengthened layshaft for a fastroad TR3) agreed to ship
it with a chassis bound for a customer in New York. It'll only cost me the
additional weight - less than $100.00
Can you find someone shipping a car across and pay the difference ?
Otherwise ship the OD and build the gearbox here.

Subject: [TR] Shipping gearbox and or O/D from UK to US
Has anyone shipped an overdrive gearbox from the UK to
the US? I've located an A type 'box in the UK and
would like to have it rebuilt and shipped to the US
but expect it might to cost prohibitive. If too
expensive to ship teh whole assesmbly I'll have only
the OD rebuilt and ship that.
Has anyone out there shipped either across the
Atlantic? (Going roughly from Windsor to
Chicago/Milwaukee).
Thanks for any ideas and rough estimates of fees.
Best wishes
Steve
