I shipped a Jaguar transmission. Drain the fluid and lay it flat so there is
little height to the package. Put it in a box, in a box, in a box.  This is
done by just wrapping the second and third boxes by wrapping cardboard from
other broken down boxes. Get boxes at local appliance stores or bicycle
shops. The outside box should have some means of grabbing, like cutting
holes in the side like bicycles ship boxes have.  Ship FedEx as they are
cheaper.  Bill in Oregon

I've shipped ribcase transmissions with UPS before.  In the box they weigh a=
bout fifty pounds ready for shipping.  Didn't use the pack and ship store th=
ough - WAY too expensive compared to putting it in a box yourself.  :-)

Here is the method I have use for shipping a couple Datsun 5 speeds.  =
You may be able to adapt it for the ribcase.

I pick up a 15x15x48 golf club moving box from FedEx/kinkos as the =
shipping box.  I cut four 15x15 squares of 2 inch thick hard foam =
insulation.  I have been able to pick this up at construction sites for =
free so far, but you can get it from any home depot type store.  I take =
one sheet and trace around the bellhousing and cut out the center =
keeping the outer ring.  I glue this ring to the top of one of the other =
foam squares.  Placing the transmission bellhousing back into the ring I =
pass four bolts through bellhousing bolt holes and the foam, this fasten =
the transmission to the foam block.  On the tail shaft end I do the same =
thing except I sandwich cardboard between the two foam sheets for added =
strength so the shaft can not punch through the foam.  This whole thing =
is then slipped into the shipping box.  The box will be too long so you =
will cut it down and create a shorter version of the original that is =
custom sized for the transmission.  since the transmission is supported =
on the ends centered in the box you don=E2=80=99t need to pad the sides. =
 I do usually use the cut out center section of the one foam pad to =
cover the drain plug for a little added protection.

Bill M originally gave me this Idea and I have tweaked it slightly with =
the addition of the foam rings for added lateral support.
