1400$ For Inspection???
So on Saturday I was driving on the free way I was in 5th gear when I tried to shift to neutral it wouldnt go so as I pulled over my car just stopped and all my wheels locked up.
I towed it to the dealer Monday.
Today I get a call from the service Dept. and they told me that they were gonna charge me 1400 dollars to drop the tranny to inspect what they think is the clutch even tho the clutch is new (OEM) tho.

Depending on if your car is modded or not, I would bring the car to a reputable shop in your area for a better labor rate. If its not modded, then you should be covered under something called...wait I think it's a warranty 
Good luck, sounds like an ACD problem.

If your car is stock with less than 100k on the odo you're still under the powertrain warranty. Even if you've modded the hell out of the rest of the car, as long as you haven't touched the powertrain they're required to fix it for free. See here.
If you're not covered under warranty, put your car on the flatbed and get it the hell out of there. They're a bunch of crooks. Then post which dealership it was so the rest of us know to avoid them. Oh, and report them to the BBB and whatever they have in Cali as far as consumer rights groups go.
