I think this is a picture of the thing that you described
 

 
It just clips to the metal cowl above the mechanism for the wipers...

p1811 - long shift/max adapt shifts
p1040 was not on the list
p1096 was not on the list
p0137 is low voltage, rear o2 sensor
p0742 - tcc (transmission converter clutch) solenoid stuck on, maybe could also be the cause of p1811
 
Commonly the solenoids in these transmissions have issues, sounds like it could be the case with yours...I'm not a trans expert so I'll defer to someone else to provide you with advice on what to do...what would I do? I would drop the trans fluid and change the filter if you haven't done it already and go from there. Sometimes clean fluid does wonders for a transmission...
 
P0137 - Sounds like your rear O2 sensor is either faulty or has faulty wiring...since its a 2000, is very likely that it is due to be replaced. It doesn't control the engine, it just monitors the efficiency of the cat converter which may also be getting ready for replacement, possible but not necessarily likely...you can put this one off for a while if need be...good luck...

I have the service manual so I just look in the book...to search on the web:
 
type: "venture PO442" (for example) and you usually get hits related to the trouble code
 
Here's a list you can refer to as well: link title

I've got one bottle of Prestone Fuel Injector Cleaner and two bottles of STP Fuel Injector Cleaner which I intend to use as I add additional tanks of gas.
 
It was the STP that I used last time, when the hitest gasoline that I added brought the gas guage up to almost full. Now its about half a tank on the guage and I just added the second STP container and went out to buy more on the theory that any sort of "miracle goop" is cheaper than a whole new engine!
 
I did find something that said Techron but it said Fuel System Cleaner and did not specifically say Fuel Injector so I decided to not get it quite yet since it might not be the right stuff.
 
Don't really know if its getting better or not; it ain't getting worse though and so far I ain't had to put in a new engine at a whopping 4500 dollars, so I sure thank each and everyone on this board and all who run it!
