Default manufacturer rebuilt vs indy rebuilt transmission

I have a '98 Dodge Caravan v.6 3 speed automatic transmission.
Transmission is dead; service shop at Chrysler dealership recommends
installing tranny rebuilt by Chrysler: cost $4000 Canadian (3350 US)
inc. labour, three year warranty. Local transmission shop would do the
job for $1700 (Cdn.) inc. labour, 2 year warranty.

Is the Chrysler rebuilt part worth the additional $2300?

Thanks,

Frank

There's no such thing. Chrysler is not in the rebuilding business. Their
dealer network buys rebuilt transmissions from whatever mass-rebuilder
had the lowest bid for the current contract interval. Just like "Mopar"
oil filters have been variously made by Fram, Wix/Dana, and
who-knows-else over the years. The same is true for ALL automakers, by
the way.

You're much better off with a local rebuild by a competent shop.
