Just to wrap this up, I did get the Gen 3 tranny installed on Friday and it feels like a whole new transmission...oh wait, it is
Shifts definitely feel tighter...I guess 93k miles kinda loosen up a tranny over time
Here's my "vendor review" of PartsRack:

Also, a big thank you to Tom Sessions and Chuck Tator for their over the phone help! I know I called Tom enough where he may add me to his "friends and family" plan just to save his cell phone minutes in the future
On a related note, I have 9 quarts of Mopar ATF+4 in the Classifieds for $5/quart (MSRP:$7.42/quart) since the Gen 3 tranny requires gear oil instead of ATF+4
p.s.--Also a big thank you to Palmer Dodge for their parts discount for VCA members! The 75-85 gear oil retails at over $35/quart!! With the VCA discount, I paid $15/quart! I saved $80 in one visit and some people say VCA membership isn't worth the cost???
