Default To rebuild or not to rebuild???

I just did a few mods to my stock 96 ss auto. "cc 503, kooks longtubes and off road Y, pro comp 1.6rr, 3200 vig port and polished stock TB and MAF"

And wouldn't you know it less than 100 miles later my trans lost 3rd and 4th.

My local speed shop told me that they could have it rebuilt for me for $2300 and that they have yet to have one come back.

I would end up having around 28 or 2900 dollars in this rebuild because its 200 to take it out and 200 to reinstall it plus tax.

Are there any better options out there? I plan on having close to 400hp at the rear plus a 150 shot of NOS. I want to retain as much drive ability as possible..."Overdrive" and still be able to hit the track if I want.

I want to do this right the first time so I don't have to mess with it anymore. So if this is a good price then I will pay it but it seems a little expensive for a rebuild

What Do you guys think? Any better options?
