Great share, thank you.
Thank you for reading, The only thing I would add is.
15. The 13 pin connector/conductor plate. If you catch the problem very early when the automatic transmission. Is holding a gear too long or shifting erratically. You can often just clean the 13 pin connector with electrical conductor cleaner. And as a preventative job change the part it connects to with the o-ring I forgot what it was called. Whatever you do, DO NOT USE a drill to remove the part. YOU WILL STRIP THE BOLT. And be forced to change the whole conductor plate, to fix the issue (very messy job).
If you do have to change the conductor plate you may be if the problem gets too bad and the car goes into limp mode. Get the transmission reprogrammed but any independent shop with a star diagnostic, or any other tool like snap-on diagnostic system to reprogram the transmission.
