I can understand your bewilderment. Check out the other end, the end where the wire from the solenoids goes into the large plug. Remove the clip where the wire enters and then unscrew each wire from under the bananna connecters. Leave the wire in place in the car and remove the wire from the new computer. Install the old wire into the new computer plug correctly. Although you can do this I recommend that you DO drop the pan just so you can look inside. Don't forget there is a magnet inside in the pan and you can't examine it unless you drop the pan. Do not overtighten the pan screws as they are only in aluminum and can strip out very easily. You may be able to reuse the pan gasket if it isn't too dried out. Unless the fluid is really clean you should replace it but remember it's only about 3 quarts and the trans holds much more that you can't get out, it's mostly in the torque converter. Unless it's really gunky inside you should't have to touch the filter. David Teitelbaum vin 10757 automatic (Yes it is running good) [quote snipped by moderator]
