It's common practice to replace all the wearing parts when overhauling

Also the torque converter if there are any signs of fluid
contamination. The labour cost is so much more than the parts that it
doesn't make sense not to. No specialist worth the name will simply
repair a fault if it means removing the box.

Well I doubt they will tell her what specific part they found that
didn't work, even though I would love to know.

No reason why they shouldn't? It is possible to diagnose most auto faults
by going through a series of checks even if it doesn't have electronic
diagnostics built in.

What's the difference between factory rebuilders and in-shop
rebuilders? And have you all not heard that factory rebuilders do a
better job?

If it is the factory that made the transmission - ie ZF in this case -
they probably should do a better job since they have access to any
modifications, etc. However, there's no intrinsic reason why a specialist
can't equal their standards.
