G'day,
Is there anybody passing through Chicago on the way to Montgomery who would be willing to carry a switch pitch transmission with
torque convertor and a 3.21 to 1 final drive for me?
I would be more than happy to make a contribution towards your gasoline expense for the trip.
Regards,

You should have said something before I cancelled out on Montgomery.
At least this one does not have to go through customs.
How much does it weigh? I'm thinking it could go on a hitch mounted carrier.
I'm not going to Montgomery but if someone is coming south through Indiana, I could go get it in Chicago and meet them with it somewhere in Northern Indiana.

What Rob forgot to mention is if anyone is coming through the northern 1/3rd of Indiana, I will pick up this trans and final drive and carrier in Illinois and meet them anywhere in the Northern 1/3 of Indiana. So if you are headed south on I-65 or I-69, or US 31, I'll gladly meet you with all of the stuff for Rob.
Actually I could to the same for I-55, I-57, or I-39 in Illinois.
This thing is currently located at US-30 and the Indiana-Illinois state line.
Rob also has several alternate plans to have it available other locations in the Chicago suburbs. He just needs a volunteer coming through the area and we will get it to where you are coming through.

The last time that I talked to Rob, he still did not have a volunteer to move this trans and final drive. They are not that big. I moved one from California to Indiana in a coach and it sat underneath the dining room table.
We are suggesting carrying it on your receiver hitch and you will never know it is back there. I went to Harbor Freight yesterday for Rob and bought a hitch carrier, some ratchet straps, and a blue tarp. So I now have everything needed to install this carrier on a coach and to keep the items dry in case of rain.
All we need is a volunteer coming through Northern Illinois or Northern Indiana to take it to Montgomery.
