I haven't had time to try anything else since my last post. Really frustrated and not sure what direction to go. Considering dropping the pan and valve body to inspect the plug pins, figure that might be easier than dropping the exhaust and rear tranny mount.

Update, I had it towed to a reputable indy European car mechanic, car will run pretty good if you take it easy but if you accelerate fast it starts jerking which snowballs into more jerking. The mechanic blames the valve body/tcu. Since car has 150k miles he suggests a new rebuilt tranny from zf which would cost around 5k, he said I could change just the valve body and it would fix it but it would likely be a temporary fix. I don't want to spend 5k on a car that's only worth 7k so I'm unsure which route to go.

Send a mail to seanjordan20 and he can help you with advice on a repair center for valve bodies
We have both repaired our valve bodies and had no trouble since
And all for under $1,000

Update
OK so I finally installed a sonnax zip kit to go along with everything else I've done. I didn't reset adaptations because I had driven less than 70 miles since the first reset First day car ran fine I was driving it like a grandma, taking it very easy. 2nd day drove it back and forth to work with no problems (about 40 miles round trip). 3rd day car was running fine then stopped at a light and noticed the clicking sound under the gear shift knob then whatever gear shows on cluster D at the time started flashing as the clicking went on. Got home put it in park the the clicking got worse now with the P on the cluster flashing. So I went back to inpa the next day and reset adaptations again. Once again car ran smooth somewhat following driving procedure for after a reset. At the end of the day the car started that clicking and flashing again the makes the car jerk pretty bad. I'm going to try and post a video of the clicking I'm talking about, at this point I just need to get the car running right so I can take it to auction to unload it
