Default Transmission weight
I need to get a trans down to under 100lbs (TOTAL, INCLUDING CRATE) so that i can have it shipped via usps.
I want to know what can be removed from it... tail shaft, shifter etc...

The items that are removed will be shipped seperate, as USPS will not ship anything over 100lbs.

Ship it UPS?

I've shipped 2, both weighed 105ish pounds in a box built around them.

I have to ship it USPS, as im military stationed overseas...

105 huh? i wonder if maybe a less heavy box could be used... by the way im not shipping it: its being shipped to me and it needs to be under 100 lbs total, if i had the trans here i wouldn't ask i would just start taking things off and see what it saves.
Im just trying to help out the seller so i can get the trans shipped over here.

With or without fluid?

The tail shaft can easily come off as one piece. you dont even need to remove the flange

They are around 90 pounds no box. I took a much larger box and sectioned it around the trans.
