Automagical transmissions are crazy expensive for rebuild. There is an entire element of mechanics that say to never service one, as they often fail soon after a service.
My El Camino came with the metric 200 transmission designed for some sub compact. It was a poor choice from Chevy to offer it in the vehicle. It failed at 50,000 miles. I replaced it with a Turbo 350, and it did not last long before it failed. I was lucky enough to find a transmission guru in Bethany, OK.
Anyway, I had him put in a 200R4 with a lockup controlled by the TBI fuel injection system. It has been great. It is like a 5 speed not a 3 speed like the Turbo 350.
Personally in your situation, I would find one of the factory new or built transmission companies, and have the old one sent back as a core. Finding the old grey haired transmission expert is a challenge. You don't want an expensive rebuild from a guy that watched some YouTube videos if you plan on keeping the vehicle.
