I had an email with a 20% code but it expired on 6/23 so I might just
wait for another email and see if I can save $12. I'll get the
connector connected and everything cleaned and see if it drives OK then
deal with the fluid later.

Now I think they don't work on ATF either, but give it a try and see what
happens.
Any halfway decent shop should have one of these, which I think can clear 722.6

I cleared all sorts of old HVAC and body codes from the ML with one, and it

You’re overthinking this...
The “codes” or errors are snapshots of faults that have occurred in the past or
are currently present. The system will continue to operate properly in most
cases, even with a fault code present.
Some faults are “soft” in that if they only happen a few times and
It did show that 3 shift solenoids had errors and I cleared those but I
guess there are more deeper in there. The PO told me it had a pump code
(from the fancy computer) which is why he thought that was the offending
element of the tranny troubles.
So if I don't clear the codes the tranny

Correct.
OBDII are common codes, like for emissions stuff, and do not cover systems like
ACC or transmission.

I vote for fix it first, then bring the maintenance up to date.
replace the connector, clear the transmission memory, and see if it shifts.
if yes, go in and change the fluid and filter.
If no, think about changing the conductor plate, but before you do anything,
see if there's ATF in the
The conductor plate has absolutely nothing to do with keeping oil in.
That's all part of the connector assembly, and its seals.

I looked at another coupla vids of replacing the conductor plate, it
seems like the electrical connector thingie is what seals it up, one
o-ring into the conductor plate electrical socket and the other seals
against the transmission body and the fluid is contained between the 2
o-rings.

I pulled off the electrical connector (easy on the ML, fair amount of
room to work in there) and there was a lot of fluid in there. I sopped
up what I could up in the transmission hole where the connectors are,
coming off the conductor plate it looks like. I sprayed contact cleaner
in there
