We have seen a couple of cases locally hear with a 2nd gear whine and leaks the day it came back from kormex. but the owners lagged on bringing it back and they are now out of warranty. on the other end we have seen several come back with no problems at all. We just finished a trans, our first rebuild for a customer. usually we do it just for our selves. We haven't had one leak yet nor have we had any odd sounds coming out. We are far from a transmission shop yet we were able to do it. I would suggest Ray P or jacks but considering you are in cali you may want to hit up c3motorsports as they only use high quality parts and at a great price. They are who we order our trans parts from
