Superfly comments, "That is shipping weight including packaging"
Pallet, couple of straps and bubble wrap, what do you think, maybe 10 pounds?
Slice and dice this anyway you like, an automatic transmission like the 700-R4 is huge and heavy, way over 200 pounds.
Nothing wrong with an automatic trans, just doesn't seem fittin' to not have a tall stick shift in a truck. Maybe I've been rodeo riding too many years and have plumb lost my good sense.
