I may save a few grand. It may be worth another look.
I'll call around and see if I can get a mechanic to do this work, and see what it would cost. I'm not sure what I will find, so wish me luck. I will refer to information in this and other posts to assist in the process, so thanks for the help. I'll post what I can find.

If you are going to drive the car with this problem, I would suggest that you take it easy when taking off from a standing start.
Try holding the brake on, raise the rpm to about 800 to 1000 rpm then release the brake as you take off.
Don't take the revs too high, just enough to increase the line pressure, to lock up the low reverse clutch, before the drive is applied.
This will stop the clutch from slipping, so prolonging it's life.
