Anyone out there have a figure for the combined weight of an auto tranny and turbo 617?

in the vicinity of 800 lbs i'd say

Those auto trans are heavy. 100lbs or more.

I think the above weights are about right - I'd take Charlie's estimate on the trans weight (those suckers are heavy). So 685 lbs. and maybe add some for accessories (AC pump, for example) and 700 is a good guess. Mine is stripped (only has an alternator and starter) and has a manual trans so my weights won't help.

I recently put a 722.303 trans on a scale. It weighed in at 143 lbs.

Explain why that cannot be right?

That is pretty bold, especially the fact he just called me a liar....



Oh, that weight included the torque converter and flex disk.

Did you remove it from the car before putting it on the scale ?

Of course! What kind of question is that? I was getting the weight to ship it out to a forum member.

It's really no big deal for me about the questioning of the weight. Tom's a good guy. I was rolling with the being bold part.

Not surprising, having loaded one into a trunk. Porky little devils.

So we're up around 750ish for the assembled system (engine/trans/converter/flywheel).
