And it ought to be a longer warranty period than that ideally. 3k isn't bad as long as it's a quality shop or dealer and not some place like Aamco.
Top Gear Motorsports in the Phoenix area offers a 1 year warranty on their rebuilds. I would never take a transmission anywhere else. They're going to build the 4l80e that goes in the car when I do the turbo set up, because even if it does blow up they'll rebuild it free for a year.
