I'd like to hear more about your transmission failure. This sounds like the first manual transmission problem anyone has reported.
They told me the disc was down to 20%, and the car has 37,000 miles on it.
Hmmm...that would mean your original clutch was going to be toast before 50,000 miles?!? Unless you slip your clutch a ton, that seems way out of the ordinary for one of these cars.
...my bill was $525, but was estimated at $1,200 (USD)
if the transmission was not already out of the car.
They did the right thing. Any time your engine/transmission comes out, a new clutch should go in while everything is apart.
