Les,
I just checked the Bill of Lading (BOL) under which I had a TH-425 (only,
no torque converter, final drive, nor stub axle) shipped from Manny to me:
250#. And that's in a very well constructed plywood box with internal
cleats to secure the transmission and for screws to grip through the
plywood, plus provisions for forklift tines to get beneath it.
IIRC, the FD weights 85#. The stub axle I'd WAG at 20# max. I wouldn't
expect any significant difference in weight between standard and switch
pitch. I don't know the dry weight of a torque converter, but saw
somewhere 40# with ATF.
If Canadian policies are like in the US, be sure to ship between commercial
addresses where forklifts are available. BIG cost savings. And
comparison shop, including from each end. My cost was over $80 cheaper
than the quotation Manny got for the same freight class, on the same truck
line, between the same addresses.
HTH,
Ken H.
