So, it looks like the Sonnax - Aftermarket replacement transmission, torque converter, and high performance automotive parts company makes the reman VB and fortifies them to make sure such a problem does not happen again. I was able to get a quote for 450 for VB (My own VB) and the pump cover which has 2 valves (125) to bore out and put sleeves in all valves and check all the solenoids and replace each if necessary. so overall its not a bad price about $700 for that plus the 500 (tranny rebuild kit) plus (100 in oil). so overall im looking at a pretty much new tranny at $1,300....and that is a great price.
