Trans and/or TC repair

Our Levelten transmission failed recently as described in this thread:

http://www.subaru-svx.net/forum/show...threadid=20951

Levelten have quoted me separate prices to repair the transmission and the torque converter.

My question is, given the symptoms (excessive slipping, heat, no reverse, black soupy fluid), is it more likely to be a problem with the Trans, TC or both?

If it's purely a trans problem then does the TC need replacing or will a good flush suffice. Ideally I don't want to ship a large heavy part half way around the world if there's nothing wrong with it.

there must be a shop somewhere near local that will rebuild a torque converter, there's no miracle there, just special tools - so I wouldn't ship it to Level 10.

I'm also wondering if there's a local shop Level 10 would subsidize to rebuild the box using Level 10 parts (probably not, but might be worth asking given the distance and logistics involved).
