Can you find a business to ship it for you? Shipping charges have gone insane for regular folks. To answer your question. Greyhound may be an option. I have shipped large sheet metal items reasonable.

Check with local transmission shops, they may have containers purpose-made for trannies. They may also be willing to ship it for you. I've shipped a couple on pallets and even the truckers were pretty strict about there being no oil in it, reasonably clean, not dripping.

I have shipped a couple of large items via Greyhound (bus) Freight. They are very acomidating.
The easiest way I can think of would be to wrap it with the stretch wrap used to pack boxes on a pallet. It's cheap and will cover it well. Find or make a small wood pallet and secure it to the structure with banding strap or screw it down with plumbers tape.
You can also try a company called Fastenall. They will ship stuff store to store using their network. I did a quote once but never used them.
And a last thought, on the Ford Barn are several auto transporters who travel the US and take on parts to fill out the load.
