-Stuttering auto
1.Change filter and use genuine transmission fluid
2.Reset transmission and ecu by disconnecting negative on battery for 30 minutes

Maybe add...
3. Follow the Auto Trans Initial Learning procedure. (LINK)


oh, and that linked procedure (above) only states the battery Neg needs to be disconnected for 5 seconds, do we really need it disconnected for 30 minutes?

5 seconds should be fine, many manuals seem to give a variance of up to 30mins on many cars for ECU's to lose their memory. I am not an expert, so went for worst case .
