SO I bought a new one and installed an oil slinger and exteneded breather tubes off trident shifter and this thing is still dumping. everytime a leak is adressed anotherp ops up. So basically since having this installed the truck has been out of service since january. MArlin Crawler has been very littel help I asked them to simply sell another TB so I can be installed correctly the first time. Pulling and reinstalling alloy/aluminum weakens it. and thus far MC hasnt helped out. Im trying to buy a trail gear box to replace this and be done with it.

wow! So sorry to hear that! Ours was installed in December and has been driven almost daily on short drives and all over So-Cal on a few road trips. I'd say it has about 1500-2000 miles on it since X-mas time. No leaks, no problems, so far.
We've put it in Low-Low a dozen times around our property and along our side streets in the gravel to do function checks and get used to the operating characteristics.
It's definitely gotten smoother to shift and it's very intuitive to use and 99% transparent when in 2wd - just a tiny bit of gear whine, but that's been the same since install.
