Hello all. My 6L80 is in need of a rebuild/replacement, and I wanted to see if there are any reputable shops relatively close to me. I am in central Indiana. 
 

I have been quoted $5800 for a Jasper rebuild and $6200 for an OEM replacement, neither of these are terribly appealing to me. 

 

For that kind of money (or hopefully less) I would much rather pay a reputable transmission builder to rebuild my current transmission so that I don’t experience another failure like this in the near future. 
 

Any advice is welcome, thank you!

I believe the OEM will have the longest warranty.

6L80s get expensive depending on what's damaged internally.  Just priced one at work that had the typical pump failure and converter failure.  Converter, pump parts, all valve bodies, 1-2-3-4/3-5-R clutch, all necessary parts it was more than a new GM reman was.  Less labor for replacing as well so if its cost comparisoned rebuild vs. reman, the reman can beat the rebuild quite often.  

 

GM trans gets you a 3yr/100k warranty as well.  Hard to beat that.  The problem with the GM ones?  4-6 weeks backorder.  

 

No matter which route you go, make sure they put a new trans thermostat on p/n 86774933.
