if your looking for a factory rebuild your best bet is finding a rebuild kit online "cheaper" and bringing it to a place like Habbys transmission in hicksville. Im sure there are a whole bunch of reputable tranny places near you though.

talk to my boy detonation666 his friends dad own a tranny shop they were giving me a decent price to rebuild my spare r154

Huntington transmission is a good choice too. He is pretty good with truck trannies and ive seen him do yotas before without a problem. PM me if you want his info

If you guys are looking for stock rebuilds just find a shop nearby that offers warranties for their work. That way if they fu(*& something up they have to fix it.

If you want someone to build it to last and handle more power than a stock rebuild I would send it to Marlin crawler...I mean when it comes down to it you get what you pay for right ladies?

cool stuff, def let us know how it goes-
local trans shops want around 1000 to rebuild the gearbox, and they don't even have to replace any gears
im stuck with 2 busted r154s right now, kinds frustrating

exactly why i haven't gotten rid of the first busted one, just broke the other one earlier this week- forcing me to push my rebuild plans up much sooner then i had wanted.

I feel the same way,collect them for parts\rebuild. They are rare now. JR the tranny man is a little busy so Im gonna wait for him. F@#k it seasons over anyway. Two boxes will be less then the 1500 the shop wanted for one and I will have marlin crawler inside. I will update you all.

sweet deal, it looks like I'm going to buy a 3rd trans just to get it moving again by next weekend, which means ill have 2 to rebuild- if he does a good job i'll send him my work too

So far it seems im building these R154's myself. It doesnt seem to hard . I do have a press at work... The new 1+2 geaars ,marlin crawler parts and stuff. Im am a great mechanic, who knows it might work ...I heard I could do it myself. why not? Anyone have some tips? JR has been busy so I kept busy soon they will be finished. I had to order some parts ,retaining clips and new shaft nuts. Soon putting things back together.
