Maintenance/Repairs

My 80 y.o. brother bought his Accord from our mother a few years ago. It has now only 110,000 miles on it. He took it in to a trusted mechanic simply for an oil change, and that mechanic sent him to a transmission shop due to a check engine light (code unknown). That shop told him it was a second gear clutch, and replacement would be $2200.
My question is: he barely drives the car. Is there any harm if he just keeps driving it. He says he does not see any symptoms. Will he get stranded?
