Rebuilt R150F AT - Yota1 vs. Marlin Crawler

[Endlessblockades]

I just happened to notice that Marlin has a built unit on the shelf for $2k NO CORE REQ'd. Yota1 is about $1,800 but requires a core (or $1000 charge). Any thoughts on the comparison? If anyone needs the one in Fresno - go get it.....this just had me thinking.

Well, I have personal experience with Yota1 Performance and I've filmed 3 manual transmission rebuilds with Nick, the owner, and you'd be hard pressed to find a better person to rebuild your manual transmission. If you want to see what a rebuild entails, you're not going to get that information from Marlin Crawler. You will however get that from Yota1 Performance.

For sure - I am all for Yota1 and will probably get my A34OF rebuilt there.

I can't use a manual like the linked unit, I just came across it. I am guessing a customer deal fell through and they are selling it 'off the shelf'

It must have sold as it says "out of stock" at that link now.

NGL, I have heard some pretty nasty stories about Marlin quality control and customer service. And they've got some pull to make stories disappear. While their sticker is pretty rad I'd go with Yota1.
