Just to step back and see what you both are saying:

All we can do here is look at what is being said and accept it at face value.

If the conductor plate was the problem, it should now be a stored code, not a current code, and as such we can assume that it is out of limp home mode. But again we are assuming. Makes sense to me but sometimes the transmission has other ideas. That's the way it should be.
If you read the OP, either the indy shop did ththe conductor plate w/o success, although the work was based on a PO715 code and no codes from ETC, evidently, so kind of jumped the gun on even DOING the conductor plate, so IMHO the diagnosis was bunk.

So, to me, the Y in the road isn't so much reading/erasing codes and assuming everything will be fine and dandy (nice thought) but to read the ETC codes, then decide what to do from there.

Hard to swallow that the most favorable outcome is that the indy either sold a bad part or botched the instalation somehow.

We're all trying to help, sometimes you need to take a second look at what the problem is.
