I had it done in February 2000 at an AAMCO in Sunnyvale... they use their own parts, and only give a 12-month/12K mile warranty. I'm at 30 months/18K miles, so am out of luck. And it turns out that they did poor work -- the internal pistons' machining was a bit out of tolerances, and the shift linkage was missing a metal grommet -- AAMCO used a plastic tie wrap! Which stretched and bent over time, causing the transmission to shift irregularly and accelerating wear.
I could try to take the local AAMCO to small-claims court, but I'd have to prove it was their poor practices that directly led to the failure. And spend another $1K on an attorney... not worth it. The small family-run shop that has it now I trust explicitly... and they build and sponsor dirt-track racing cars
