Alright so I was driving to the grocery store with my girlfriend. We went inside and then when we came out and got outside, I turned on the car and I couldn't get the car into gear. Also the clutch felt "different." and also the car was shaking like crazy!!! After trying forever I finally got into 1st gear and then I tried to shift and I couldn't! I had to force it into 2nd and then 3rd. luckily my house was like a mile away. But two times my car wouldn't let me get into gear on the way to my house. as of now its sitting in front of my house. I have no idea what's wrong with it. So what's the problem? can it be fixed? and how much will it cost to fix it?

Or if you are unable to do any of the above stuff on your own and don't have a friend who can help you, call around and get quotes at other places. Tell them what Toyota said was wrong, that way your quote will be based on "worst case scenario". I'd hazard to guess that if you had ALL of that work done at a regular mechanic's shop, it'd run you about a grand, which is still a lot but it's 700 dollars less than Toyota wants to do the work.
