When you go to a shop that rebuilds your transmission, it is usually less of a rebuild. It is on your own transmission, not a different core. They will focus on what failed, whether the valve body or torque converter or clutch plates. They are repairing worn parts, not necessarily returning the transmission to new specifications. That isn't a bad thing, rebuilding it can be cost effective and a good decision, but comparing it to the dealer exchange unit is apples and oranges.

Thank you both for the clarification. Any idea what terms (years/miles) of warranty comes with a dealer installed rebuild, assuming the original warranty has expired?
