Is Marlin still in business?
« on: Jan 05, 2015, 07:02:55 PM »
I have been calling Marlin for the past 4 weeks and no one is there to answer my call. All I need is one gasket to get my project going. Are they still around?

They are still around but if you can find that gasket from a reseller you might have better luck. Low Range Offroad sells some Marlin product. I'm actually really surprised at the loyalty the company gets even though this seems to be an ongoing issue going back years now. And I'm not sure why your calling but they will charge you more for shipping over the phone than if you order online.

Thanks for the reply. The problem is this gasket is not available anywhere else. I only see it in the picture for Marlins tacoma t-case adapter kit. It is the gasket that goes between the adapter and the 1998 auto trans. I am doing a 3.4L motor swap on my 1990 4runner and originally used RTV/Ultra Grey to seal it. But then needed to pull it to check something before final install, and it took 4+ hours to get it off and damn near damaged my adapter. So I feel having even a few of those gaskets would help. The dealer doesn't even show them.

Try advance adapters, they may have

It sucks when you have so much business that it takes luck to get through, maybe Marlin should start a lottery on who gets through and gets what.
