Legal Question in Legal Ethics in Washington

My husband and took our car to have a clutch job done at a shop out of our area.The throw out bearing was making a loud noise. They did the clutch job but the next day the car was leaking gear oil(which it had never done before they worked on it). We called them on the next business day, told them the problem, they said to bring it it in so they could fix it. Took the car in, they said they fixed it. Approximately 2 1/2 weeks later it started making the same kind of of noise that it did before they fixed the clutch and gear oil was everywhere again. This time they charged us to tow the car,because now it was not driveable. Then they said they were going to charge us again to look at it. I refused to let them touch the car again especially for a charge for something I know they did. We had it towed to another mechanic, he took it apart told us that the other shop had to of caused a hole in our transmission because there was not any other reason for the hole that was there to have been there except due to negligence of the worked previously performed on the car. Now we are out over 3000.00 dollars plus time loss from work,for what was suppose to be a simple clutch job. Do we have legal grounds to sue the initial shop/mechanic that worked on it and ruined our transmission?
