I am really thinking about this offer. Good thing it has the Tcase too, I really need that. I wonder how much shipping would be for me.
This summer I should save up all the money I need to buy it.
I hope you still have it by then.
Please hold on to it! Glad to see you took good care of it.
*Subscribed*
Please let me know if anyone buys this before I get a chance to save up the cash-ola.
That, and let me know if you drop the price!

Ok, will do. I really don't know how much shipping would be, mainly because I don't know for sure how much this thing weighs. Its too heavy for my bath room scale hehe. If anyone wants to arrange a freight company I'll deliver the tranny to a local shipping dock. I've heard this company is good, but I've never used them: http://www.forwardair.com/locations/falocations.htm and they do have a local shipping dock here in OKC.

Here are some other shippers I found, but once again I've never used any of these type companies.

I almost (ALMOST) wish my tranny were bad, yours looks nice & clean. If I had the extra dough I'd buy it just for a spare since I prefer automatics to manuals in everything except motorcycles & hot rod touring cars built for curves.

Free bump for you, especially seeing as how you're willing to drive quite a distance to help out....that 800 miles would put you nearly at my door!

infiltrator

Hmmm you are 1,356 miles away. 800 for you, 556 for me! That's only 5 fillups round trip if I get little more than 200 miles per tank. At around 50 bucks per fillup thats 250 bucks. Hmmmm. How much you want for gas? Haha. I wonder if I could drive 1000 miles in a couple days. Where to sleep? Food? Trailer? Ahhh!

I really wonder how much it would cost to ship. I will be researching this. Maybe ORS or Marlin will know how much it weighs.

PS, How do you move this thing? Cherry Picker? $$ Chaching!

mt_goat

Yeah I pick it up with a cherry picker. Yeah it might be cheaper to ship it than to pay for the gas to deliver it.

Hey Dale,
Found a really nice Cherry Picker on Craigslist for $100. I need one anyways if I am going to do my 3.4 swap. If you get a chance try to find out how much this thing costs to ship for my area (91355) I think the tranny is rated at about 250-300lbs. Its a beast! If not, I can sure call around.

Both Marlin and ORS said it would be easier to do the 3.4 swap with a 2nd gen 4x4 tranny/tcase.

One question, you took out some speed sensor thing, do I have to get one of those too from a salvage yard? I am planning on getting the whole center console so I get the extra shifter, so let me know if I need to ask for that as well.

I am very very surprised this has not sold yet. I really really really am interested in this, but I have to wait untill summer because then I can get a good full time job (no school for like 3 months just about) and pump out some cash for my 3.4 and everything. Keep it safe till I can get a hold of it.

mt_goat

Marlin and ORS must have been talking about the manual tranny, I guess its easier, but I doubt the auto would be easier because the 3.4 ECU doesn't match up (sensor wise) to the A340H, its made to run the 3.4 auto tranny.

You could just swap in the speed sensor you have now, that way it matches your speedometer and gearing. Its just 1 bolt holding it in, very easy to swap.

I have the shifter part of the console if you want that I'll throw it in (its for a gray interior).

mt_goat

Sold Thanks
