Conclusion to this story line. I had ended up cross threading the last thread of the bolt hole just as the bolt came out. Shop just ground down the starting point of the threading and was able to get the bolt back in. Also then had shop change out the transmission and differential fluid while it was up on the lift so I didn't have to crawl under the car anymore. So, 200 dollars to fix a 30 part mistake, but man oh man, the shifter now does not move at all when in neutral and shifts are tight and precise, well worth the price in the end.
