Haven't bought any crates in a long time, usually fairly costly, if custom size and strong enough to stack many high. I had a '50s fender shipped recently and the guy made one and upped the shipping cost quite a bit.
One option also, not cheap,~$200 ea, are transmission storage cases. Made out of plastic, leak proof, specifically for transmission storage. Will last longer than a crate. Easy search.
Most trans shops, just use a rack. Heavy self assemble storage shelves are fairly inexpensive at the Chinese takeouts. What I use for misc parts. Doesn't pay to skimp here. Another cheap way is industrial shelving is frequently found at auction. Industrial grade for pennies/dollars.
