Sorry to hear about this.

It seems like you are in San Jose as well. I just sent you a pm with regards to another transmission shop that I just came across a couple of weeks ago (no connection or previous experience with them myself.) You may want to call them up and see if they can help and may be do the job at lower rate.

Keep us posted on your progress please.
