I note you are on your third gearbox. You should get or borrow a multimeter that will measure for stray AC currents like Trevor suggested, even though you have replaced the alternator.
When tracking faults with the WSM one of the possible cures that comes up again and again is the TCU. Now it is generally
last on the list, so don't go jumping in that direction just yet.
However, what can go wrong most easily is the wiring looms [you americans probably say "cord"
] feeding signals to and from the TCU. It is bloody difficult to get these connectors to extract from the TCU, and yours must have been taken out and refitted loads of times. You should have a look under your dash and make sure that no damage has happened to these block connectors or the wires feeding into them. Something damaged or loose there [maybe from using a pliers to extract] could be giving you this strange behaviour.
Worth a look
