From the juristic point of view you have to PROVE your gearbox rebuilder that he did something wrong and that he caused the costs of pulling the gearbox a second time. Let me tell you that this is a mission nearly impossible. It's not guessing, it's prooving. You fail to prove it esp. as he denies having done anything wrong.I think I will have to pursue the builder in the first case....
Of course, the gearbox builder should not send you a second bill for opening the transmission case but your shop will charge you for the second time pulling the gearbox. How much is it? You can try to pursue your gearbox builder that he takes over even a part of the costs but if you're not lucky just pay it and forget it. Be happy that the problem is resolved.
As Larry mentioned more than one party involved is critical in that kind of jobs.
It's the usual first answer to deny. Some of them react if you pay them a 'Rambo'-like visit.
