Hey Oliver, so what was the problem with the tranny other than a non adjusted linkage or wire ? How can that problem cost exponentially much money ? I am an eletronics guy who can hold a screw driver and had my car completely apart and put it back together - inlcuding replacment of the clutch, head gasket, brakes... so for an expert this is just a ridiculous job. Would be interesting to hear what they did to your car or what they told you.
