Well, it's not like we'd have to ship them at the same time. I could easily ship mine first and send you the parts you'd need and then you ship me yours when you are ready. However, I would expect mine to be back to me within say... 2 weeks of you getting yours. Just because I'm in no hurry doesn't mean I want my car to just sit there tranny-less. lol

It's not something EASILY done by the first-timer, but it's not exactly difficult either. It can be done by anyone mechanically minded with enough patience and competence. Also having the right tools will help.

It would be best to have it shipped on a pallet by a freight company. You could even use the pallet I would send you, and just arrange for the same company to ship it back to me.

You just figure out what works for you. Like I said, I'm up for whatever, and will help you out if this is something you decide on.

p.s. Shipping would probably be in the neighborhood of $150 for freight.
