Herb, I have attached a picture that lists the compatibility between, TCM, formware version and valvebody. There is a note on the bottom about TCM 017545 0532 being replaced with 0175450632. No idea what that change entails.
For what it is worth, this is what the alldata documentation says about ordering and coding TCM's:

"The TCM's listed herein are to be ordered directly through the Baltimore PDC, via fax, at (410) 850-4238. (Note : Only the TCM can be ordered with this procedure. Do not attempt to include an order for the valve body or any other parts in this fax. Also, it is no longer necessary to use "VIN plus suffix 26" when ordering these control modules.)

Uncoded control modules which can be coded in the dealership via HHT must also be ordered via fax by supplying the part number only.


The following information is required when ordering a version coded TCM:
1 - TCM part number
2 - Customer name
3 - First six digits of model designation from customer's vehicle (e.g. 210.072)

After installation of the version coded TCM, the DTC's must be cleared from the TCM memory via the HHT. DTC's may be stored during the version coding procedure and would keep the vehicle in limp home mode if not erased."


As far s prices go, I was quoted $400 for a used TCM by a place that turned out not to have one. A new one was quoted at $1230 by MB.
Just another thought, could it be that your gear selector switch is repsponding a little slow? There is no reason for this to have started right when you did all this other work, but you never know.
Good Luck,
Ace
