Relative to your original question on the rebuild ... a well done rebuild by a qualified transmission mechanic should last and be durable. The valve body can be the most troublesome part of a rebuild ... you indicatd they installed a new valve body on the transmission ... so provided they flushed contamination out of the cooler, flushed or put a rebuilt converter in, cleaned the main barrel parts throughly, and installed a filter in the cooler line to catch any residual contamination you shouldn't stick any valves. It is probably worth looking at your invoice to see what was replaced beyond a standard rebuild kit (friction and seals).
