My 3-4 shift fork Got the transmission back from a local shop here in town. They don't seem to be too sure that they can rebuild it properly so TDP is getting my business. Everything looks good (at a quick glance). Gears seem to look really good but I'm no expert so I will leave it for Jason at TDP.
The biggest problem is that my shift fork is missing the pads and an actual piece of metal. Now I know when I drained the fluid why it looked like some metal was coming out.

Really? If that is the case, then I guess the shop knew how to take one apart but knows nothing about the transmission in general.
How can you tell which fork it is? Number on the fork itself?

Where do you live? Are you near a large city? (If so, you should be able to find shops that specialize in your transmission.)
BTW - I hope you aren't married. My better half would ax murder me if I tore down a transmission on the hard wood floor. lol

No, not married. A shop took it apart for me and it was the first time they've seen a 6-speed manual. He didn't look too sure of himself even though they advertise manual transmission rebuilds. I will be going through all the parts myself this weekend and wrapping them up so that I can get it ready to be shipped next week.
