Hey John,
I guess you could say it was a noble way for her to go.. saving your lives. I cringe at the thought of mine getting nailed, and she has no where near the time and care in mods you have put in.
But..let me offer you a stock shift **** for your automatic if you need one!.. $50 bucks on ebay (not mine).. but you can have it free if needed!
Just had to do it.. LOL.. Best of luck in getting things squared away.. and I'm always looking on CL here.. nothing worth mentioning but if that changes I'll definately shoot it your way.
