Pull apart with correct tools (have plenty of gear pullers, etc at work) inspect for worn parts, and put back together in order. Then make sure dowel pins are in and throw on the tranny.

I honestly would probly never send a tranny to Shep or TRE. They are expensive as hell. Rick Shindley has done several and charges in the $200-$250 range plus parts of course. Learning the skill to rebuild a tranny is priceless in a dsm. Who hasn't gone through a synchro???
