    Anyone have any experience with Marlin Crawler's flywheel for the 3.4L they care to share?

    Looking to replace a non-stock one that appears to have some bad teeth from the start. Not sure I want to cough up $343 for an OEM one but don't want to do this a 3rd time.

    I talked to them about one when I bought my clutch. Cant remember his name but he told me the OEM is better than the one they sell..

    Yeah, I got the Marlin clutch kit. Very happy with that. Just whatever stupid flywheel the garage installed does not appear to be up to snuff.

    One of those times I wish I had a full shop down in the garage. Could do this in a day or two and save the labor costs.

    How big is your garage? You can do it in a garage fairly easily. It helps to have an extra set of hands and a transmission jack, but they are not totally necessary... especially when SteezeMcQueen is involved, LoL.
