I shipped a 5-speed recently and I'm sure I made a post about the weight so others would know. I can't find the post now.

I made a small frame out of wood on the bottom of the transmission. I had a carboard box made to fit and filled it with packing peanuts. The total weight was 85-95 pounds. So the transmisson itself probably weighs in at 80-90 pounds.
