First, welcome to the forum. Please add location to your profile.

I think your cousin needs to learn a lesson... either have him pay for the repair or take it out of his hide!

You need to find out what tripped the CEL. Get the code read out; I hope it's something minor. BTW, the CEL only relates to the engine, fuel system, and emissions so it's not the transmission. Although he may have taken a few years off your clutch.
