I guess I'll do it again to be on the safe side and use that rtv. Do I have to let it set before I replace the shifter? or just put it on right after? Any suggestions on what I could clean all the sludge off with? I may also need to replace the transmission mounts? They are all soaked, will that cause a problem? I notice alot of vibration from the shifter when cruising.

Nah, just install it with the RTV fresh. Dont over tighten the bolts. And get any old RTV off. You need a clean surface. Use some brake cleaner, shop towels and some sort of scraping device to get the crap off. Just check the trans mount. If it is ok just clean all of the oil off of it. The rubber will be real soft if contaminated.
