Thanks for the info and pics. 8 days later the shifter kit has been "found" and I'll have the truck back tomorrow. Despite the cost, after 13 years of driving it, I just can't bring myself to part with this truck.

In the meantime I'm headed back to the shop that did the oil change 2 months ago with my service record. I want them to explain how I "lost" that much transmission fluid after they checked all the fluid levels. I'm begining to think they're just "checking" the boxes.

Thanks again for all the help. It is appreciated.
