Welcome to the "short range" club. My driveshaft touched my PCB the first day I owned the car and my range died (5 feet or so, the typical complaint) I bought a replacement PCB and it was all better. Until I ran into a bowl of water for my cats to drink out of. 
Anyhoo, always turn off the car before doing any work on it. That's the lesson I learned. The oil though, dunno if you could have avoided that one aside from using less oil, eh?
Try your range out. I'd bet your car won't go more than 20 feet away from you without acting REALLY funny. Probably less than 20 feet.

12414207 - PCB ASSY RECEIVER $9.49
Is it an easy install? Any soldering? Is it a plug and play?

I had to resolder one of mine, because my "data" broke, so I just resoldered them all. Not easy for me, but I'm not the best solderer.
