Default Need transmisson Help ASAP!

On my daily drive a 97 Acura CL 2.2 5sp, I took it to Transmission Discounter off of 35 in Lewisville, got the clutch and all the hydrolics replaced. I drove it home January 26th and left for North Carolina (a friend drove me to the airport not in my car) I come back two weeks later drive it for two days no problem. The third day the clutch pedal goes to the floor. I drive it back to the shop because I could start it in second and manage a slow pace there. Well the slave cylinder went out, so they replaced it, no charge. Well 2 days ago the same thing happened and he told me to drive it back out there from Carrollton, along the way it started to grind real bad going into second. I asked the guy numerous time "are you sure you want me to drive it up there?" he replied with "yes come on up here" now he want to pull my transmission to see there was any damage and wants to charge me $289 just to pull the tranny, possibly $1000 to replace any advice?

You could try Specialty Trans. in Duncanville but they may be really stacked up right now due to urgent family matters. These guys here know what they are doing and offer a good rebuild, warranty, and a decent price. I think around $1200 for all. I know you got shafted but I had Trent rebuild my 4L and I have raced it over 400+ times without any failure. He works on all makes and models. Went through 2 tranny rebuilds in Dallas area until I found him. (972-283-3013) and tell him "Green TA Girl" sent you if you go.

And Trent will only charge you for what's tore up, nothing more.
