Many years ago I had a rebuilt overdrive shipped to me in a cardboard box we=
ight minimal packing material to protect it.  It arrived with the part of th=
e aluminum gear box that supports the stick shift snapped off.    It had to h=
ave fallen hard.  That cardboard box offered little protection.

Do take the time to crate it up.  If you=E2=80=99re handy, think about minim=
izing weight.  I went overboard during that incident and built a heavy, heav=
y duty crate to ship the broken trans back in so that it=E2=80=99s replaceme=
nt would be shipped back in that crate!  No doubt, that extra weight cost mo=
ney!   (I don=E2=80=99t recall the shipper and costs.)

Add handles or whatever helps to make it easier for shippers to move it safe=
ly.
