It would be unusual, these days, if the shop planned to do it themselves. Chances are "their" rebuild would actually be done by a transmission shop they deal with.

Chances are they are reluctant to take on the B2 because many shops are of a mindset that something a customer read on an Internet forum doesn't qualify as expert advice. Sitting on their stool, that is a fair comment.

Or they may sincerely believe the B2 will end up being a short-term bandaid.
