thats labor and consumable parts. If you smoked a drum then you'll need to buy a drum which isnt a consumable part.

Give Trent Palmer with Specialty Transmission in Duncanville, Texas a call. He rebuilt my 4L and I've had over 500 passes without any trouble!! Low 11-Second car too until this year. I'm about to hit him up just for a refresher, since I will be running 10s this year!! Runs $1200 and carries a warranty unless YOU burn it up!!
