If you have a local shop that you can trust and knows what they are doing, then I say go for it. But thats a hard thing to find these days. If not, you can't go wrong with FLT or Performabuilt.

WOW...sounds really high to me. I know rear build with all new parts is around $1k and that's on the higher end.

If you have a reputable shap in your area that will stand behind their work (warranty) then do that. Much easier to drop it off and say fix it, than to pull and ship IMO. All tranny shops have failures, including the big names.
