After a week of limbo at a previous transmission shop, I got tired of waiting and brought it to one that was actually interested in fixing my car. They even saved the bolt that smashed through my transmission as a memento, which will henceforth be known as "the $800 bolt." I also managed to slip the keyed shift tower in during the rebuild which should handily outlast the car itself. The transmission shop informed me the bolt was designed to shear as colission testing found the test dummy would get hung up on the shifter, so the $800 bolt is in my posession now thanks to this safety feature.
