Oh man, I though I might get out of this fairly cheap and then Terry tells me this.
Terry, if that is the problem, would you be able to send me just a 02 Focus shifter tower assy? If the bolt did fall down in the trans I assume thats a pretty big job to get it out right? One of those 'trans out' as you call them. Oh yeh, I checked for leaks and there's a nice little puddle of what looks like trans fluid. Only red fluid in the car that I know of. This just keeps getting worse.
