Todd, this is not related to the tranny per se, but you have certainly had your challenges putting a vintage coach back to roadworthy status. It must be frustrating, and concerning to the CFO.
Whether its this shop or one closer to home, I would suggest you look at all things rubber. They deteriorate with time. Rubber items like air bags, coolant and hydraulic hoses, and belts are serviceable items that could leave you on the side of the road.
In addition, during the winter, I might take the time to go through the coach compartment by compartment checking and tightening EVERY electrical connection both 12 and 120v.
At this point with new engine and tranny, you are in for a penny in for a pound. Others may have ideas about what they would do to minimize future trip interruptions with an older coach.
