If the neutral gear light blinks after a good run or a highway run it seems that as the transmission fluid gets really hot the N lights starts to blink. An external oil cooler for the transmission might solve that problem.
Thisis what you can do immediately. Take the negative terminal off from the battery and leave it like that for 15-30 mins. Replace the terminal. What that does is reset the ECU so it might get rid of the blinking light. From then on, try to be easy on your transmsion. The CVT is not a transmission you want to rough up repeatedly or for extended periods. IMO, if you rebuilt in January, you should not be having this problem. The clutches should have been changed, filter, drum, fluid, solenoid serviced and maybe the belt changed.
I need some further input from other tuners about the transmision oil cooler though.
The random stuttering you talk of, next time it happens, check to see how low your rpm is. Low idle causes this. To eliminate, clean injectors/change spark plugs/service throttle body/change air filter. Any or all of those could be the problem.
