Thanks to everyone's help here, I have successfully installed a new conductor plate and sensors to address my limp mode issue. I am at the end and am having the darnedest time putting back the new connector for the tranny plug. For the life of me I cannot get the center 7 mm bolt to catch. Am I supposed to push the connector all the way down into the housing or what. I am stuck here. IS THERE A certain alignment of the pin holes. I am at a loss here and the is the only thing holding me up in finishing the job. I saw where you wrestlers with this and any assistance you can provide will be a great help.

I guess the main thing I need to know is there a certain alignment of the pins to holes that I should be following and am I supposed to be pushing the connector all the way down into the hole.

I have been really struggling with this as everything else went fine in changing the conductor plate. I just cannot simply install my new connector for the tranny plug.

 

It's been years since I did mine. Just make sure you don't "make" it fit.
That's why I had to do mine over. I jacked up the connector making it fit.
Take a break and try, try again!

I will tell you that the previous video you sent me in a prior thread was dead on point and helped me easily change the conductor plate with no issues. I followed the video step by step and it made the job very easy. I cannot now believe putting this connector cap back on for the tranny plug is holding me up from completing the job

 

The instructions to put the pilot bushing back are halfway down this article. CLICK
This is to found in my thread "Index of Crossfire ....." in my signature.

 

Thanks so much 180 for the reference. I will follow the instructions presented and tackle this again today.

Thanks so much to all for your assistance

Okay I have watched all of the videos and done all of the research on installing this electrical tranny plug and so I know I am doing it correct after watching over 20 videos But for the life of me no matter how much I coat the new connector with tranny oil I cannot get it to push all the way into the cavity. Is there some other lubricant you guys can suggest. I know not to use grease as that will compromise the rubber gaskets.

I have where other forum members struggled t get the connector seated or pushed all the way in. Any suggestions would really help
