I'll take a Volvo reman part anyday over a third party when the costs are nearly equal. Especially on such a labor intensive repair. If your dealer gives you a 10% discount (many do - also VCOA) you'd be paying less for genuine Volvo. I'm not sure of Volvo's policy but if you happen to get a bad tranny installed by a dealer, they may cover the cost of the replacement labor (or a good percentage). Check all the facts before you buy. If you're confident of a third party rebuilder then why even ask about them?
