Thanks for the advice! I used MAF cleaner last night, cleared the code and it stayed off for 3 separate trips. Granted this is off topic, but any input on the MAF sensors on Ebay? My JY wants $65 and they're $40 on Ebay. It just kicked back on today at lunch. I just want to get rid of the lights on the dashboard like you have personally experienced. My SES, SRS, ABS, TCS, and fuel sending unit are wreaking havoc on my mental state right now, lol. All of which I have found some response to on here. The new fuel sending unit went out within 4 months. I am beginning to wonder if it is an electrical issue.

As for the transmission, I assisted in it but really was there to see the process and learn mostly. I did compensate a friend and his brother for their time, but am rationalizing it as a 'learning experience'. Pan was really clean except for a huge chunk of metal, consistent with what was likely the forward band you mentioned. All totaled, it took about a day and a half. With a lift, it would have been half that time. The real challenge was navigating the removal in a 1.5 car garage with a ton of tools and junk. For the sake of time, I ended up skipping the shift kit cause I was down my main mode of transportation and would have had to wait for shipping. I installed a new filter and fluid after seeing that it was low in the JY one. So far, so good.
