Thanks, guys.
I'll locate it tomorrow, and order the piece. Thursday I'll be off from school, so I'll dedicate it to working on that.
Should I check it for anything else, however?
Is my car for sale? PM me if you're in South FL.

If you don't have the throttle hang fix installed yet, you might consider that. I can give you mine so you can test it in your car for a few days. BUT I'LL WANT IT BACK !!
Must be that jumbly-wumbly thing happening again.

I'm nearby ('bout 500' north of the border), give me a shout if you need a hand. 
That thing gave me hell. Took almost 12 hours to replace because it broke. Thanks to btrautman (sp?) for his fix did it finally come out.

I haven't tried the throttle hang fix yet. But I will also add it to my to-do list.
Should I do the throttle hang fix before the TSS?

NEVER MIND I looked into the wheel well a few minutes ago and discovered that the TSS was disconnected. I found the connector just hanging there. I connected it, and did a little road test. The hard shifting is gone, and it will go into overdrive!!!! Thanks for the help guys! I really appreciate it.

Congratulations!!  Stuff works better when it's connected! Happy Thanksgiving. Apparently, that problem won't light the Check Engine light.

Sort of sad that when you disconnect a critical sensor, the CEL/MIL won't go on. Yet other times, you get pesky codes when the vehicle is running just fine. Ford misses the quality boat again. Just and FYI; the EPA compiled a report of the most common DTC's reported....
Any guesses as to the most popular DTC's???
Here are the top 10...
Rank____DTC____________________________________________%
1_______P0420 --Low Catalyst Efficiency______________10.7%
2_______P0171 --System Too Lean______________________10.1%
3_______P0401 --EGR Flow Insufficient_________________7.0%
4_______P0174 --System Too Rich_______________________6.0%
5_______P0300 --Random Misfire________________________4.6%
6_______P0141 --02 Sensor Heater Circuit______________4.5%
________________Malfunction
7_______P1443 --Ford Evaporative Control______________4.2%
________________Valve Failure
8_______P0135 --02 Sensor Heater Circuit______________4.0%
________________Malfunction
9_______P0133 --02 Sensor Circuit Slow Response_______3.9%
10______P0455 --Evaporative Emission__________________3.4%
________________Control System Leak Detected
________________(gross leak)
_______________________________________Total Top 10__58.5%
Not a single transmission code in the bunch!
