A rattle can rebuild is "Fix whatever minor problem exists with the transmission, temporarily or permanently, clean and paint the housing, and charge for a full overhaul". SCAAMCO has been caught at it numerous times over the years and has always managed to slime its way out of it with "We didn't do it, yer awner, but we promise never to do it again."

The question should be, is a Chrysler RE-Manufactured Transmission better
than a RE-Built one and the answer is yes. When any of the auto makers sell a transmission it is re-manufactured meaning it is repaired to OEM specifications and if there any up grades over the years they are also done especially in the valve body assembly. A re-build is just replacing worn out parts and every thing else stays. Is it worth the extra money that is up to you. Would I pay the extra money hell yes you are getting a far superior product than a re-build.
