Sure thing. So basically, you are screwed. The transmission is completely shot, and an identical replacement cannot be purchased. So your options here are now to (1) tell them to buy a new car, or (2) accept a no-cost third-party transmission for the old one. Oh, or give "it back with a different [$200] slower transmission (Vista)" in place of the original one (see above).

Note that the no-cost replacement is still a good thing in either case, as otherwise the machine goes to landfill.

Cheers
