It's tough when they don't actually "fix" anything or know the problem, besides just throwing a whole transmission at it.
It sounded like they definitely tried some improvements for the 370's tranny over the 350 - it will be a shame if it didn't solve the problems.

I wouldn't be surprised if the labor is so high on internal transmission fixes that it's not just cheaper to do a swap. And who knows - maybe they take the old ones back in and refurbish them for the next swap...
