misfiring, tranny shuddering, low voltage error light, clicking solenoid...no start!!

Regardless of how well your alt is creating juice, it's only as good as the ground provided by the battery. If the battery is dying, the ground dies with it.

and perhaps if you have the codes, they have to be cleared before car runs okay.

no codes (at least according to dash). I am going to instal a new battery and see if the issues are resolved. 2 questions:

-could there be other codes that need to be cleared despite no dash alert?
-is the hard reset (touch + and - cables while battery is out) really recommended? will it mess up any settings, specifically transmission "knowledge"?

thanks

I've done it with zero issues.

However, there is a procedure for removing the battery. I think it's as simple as placing the key in position II and leaving it there until you are finished.
