to me it does, I was quoted $650 just to remove/install my trans when I was going to buy a used one so $1000 with repairs dont sound bad at all to me

I recommend TexasDrivetrainperformance...TDP.com..us ed them in the past and it was by far the best and great piece of mind knowing it was done right..I personally have ZERO shops around here I trust to work on my Z except for one builder who strictly does engine work/fabrication.

Took my Z06 to them last year for a transmission rebuild and it has been flawless since then.

Here is their web site. http://www.texasdrivetrainperformance.com/
