I’ll assume it is an overdrive trans.

Take the truck for a ride in manual low gear, accel up to about 3500 then tip out of the throttle and see if you have engine braking.
Do it again in manual second and see if you have engine braking.

Report back.

PS - just my opinion, you should take it somewhere else if he is going to charge you without knowing what is wrong.

Most good rebuilders warranty their work past 20,000 miles.



Around here, we get one year and/or 12,000 miles warranty on a rebuilt trans. You can buy an extended warranty, but by the time you get much past the 2 years and 24,000 miles, you might as well just take your chances, the warranty is nearly as expensive as a rebuild.
Almost no one is rebuilding transmissions around here, everyone is installing one of the reman company units. You get the warranty from the reman company, and the local guys still charge you R & R on a warrantied trans..
