Replaced a transmission with a reman @ 120k, ran it to 285k with no issues. F150 2008.

Had a Toyota transmission go out at 90k. Rebuild lasted 2 months. Tran shop could not find parts to repair under warranty, substituted Toy reman. 12 months no issues.

Transmission Shop owner told me: transmission rebuilds in supply change challenges; the good shops are sucking up the US/European made rebuild kits. The lessor shops are using the cheap Chinese shite parts.

Better to go with a manufacturer rebuild.

I put a GM reman 4L80e in a very hard used 2500 with about 250k miles on it. Sold it with 285k miles. Its still hooked up to gooseneck trailers with something like 350k on it and no issues.

You can put in a factory reman in any vehicle for less than a down payment on a new one. Its really a no brainer.
