I know the post more or less died, but still trying to solve the problem. Here's what's been done so far:
New Air Filter (stupid move on my part)
Cleaned MAF sensor
Replaced Sparkplugs
The light is still coming on and I think I can feel it misfire fairly often. Mechanic said some mess about the misfires fouling the sensor so it needs to be replaced. I have the o2 sensor and will replace it tomorrow. Thanks to sxynerd for helping me figure out their location/number etc.
My lurking suspicion is that it's actually a fuel injector or some wiring related to it. I'm really hoping I'm wrong. Thanks again.

Update: No code for 20 highway miles!
Thanks again to everyone for the input, especially nerd. In the end, the right bank forward O2 sensor was to blame.
I personally think that maybe the shop, when they had to use excessive force to get the transmission off, torqued the engine enough to bump the sensor or damage it. But regardless, it is fixed.
In the end, I spent $60 dollars on a premium air filter which, while not helpful to the situation, is sure to last me a long time. $170 on a spark plug change,* and $50 on a new O2 sensor.
*My car started misfiring badly and almost died right outside the shop after I got the code read, went ahead and left it with them. Cost to me had I been smart about it: $40-$50.
