Ship a transmission without getting raped?
#21
Oh yeah, just a little FYI since the TII relationship was brought up here.
That series of trasmission was shared around quite a bit in the 80's. Due to this, old Mazda B2600 bell housings can be coupled with the TII transmission and bolted to a wide block 4G63, a G63B I believe.
This allows for some creative swap options.

There's actually two different B2600 transmissions. The early B2600 had a 2.6 Mitsubishi motor, and that's the bell you put on a TII box to do mitsubishi things. Later B2600 had the Mazda G6, and you use that trans to attach to F-series Mazda motors.
$100.55.
I'm saying 80lbs, dimensions are 40" x 20" x 26".

When I bought a mostly OK 6 speed from TSE and had to get it to Denver, I went here:
uShip - The Online Shipping Marketplace - Ship Freight, Furniture, Cars or Moves
They then got me setup with R&L Carriers for a lot cheaper than if I had gone to R&L myself.
I picked up from a terminal here in Denver which saved a ton too. I think I would up paying like 175 bucks though. Not really cheap. If you have someone with the time/willingness to go to Greyhound with it, that helps.

Guy I got my 6 speed from never saw this thread... shipped in a cardboard box full of packing peanuts, with the transmission wrapped in a thick layer of bubble wrap. Box looked like it had been run over buy the delivery truck, but the transmission itself looked OK when I got it out of the box.

Anyone know how well cast aluminum will accept a welded on donor mounting point?

If this was my car I would pull it apart enough to fit that section in an oven. Drill and tap and shape a piece of 3003AL (same as what you get from home depot, easiest to weld to cast) to replace the broken piece, bolt it to a scrap slave. Bolt the slave to the bell housing, put all that in the oven at, as high as it goes, take it out, and then weld the tap back to the casing while its still really ******* hot. Then put it back in the oven and turn the oven off and let it come down to be cool enough to touch over a long time. and it should be fine. If the **** doesnt want to bolt back together because you warped it then I would use a new front half. If you have already paid for bob's front half I wouldnt even bother, I'd just use his front half.
