grab the input shaft,  if it wiggles more than a mm  at the tip,  its  worn,  if it moves alot  buy it anyway, but dont spend more than $150  then send it to Marlin for a core

sorry what do you mean by the "tip is wron."?

I've always ran it throught the gears and turned the input shaft and made sure the rear output turned with it.  Not really a whole lot more I do but I've been lucky thus far with that method.

anything on the r151 that i sould look for like worn out connections.
