Ok so this is confusing me...the parts stores keep asking if its an 8 or 12 pin...I thought what I need was an assembly that goes between the filter&valve body.Since that tcc code 37 Im still trying to cure.So Not exactly sure what to order now.

Should be a solenoid set. Two solenoids on a bracket, with some wiring. Power feed is common for both, two ground wires run off to the PCM. Check the connector on the side of your trans, drivers side, behind the shift linkage about a foot. Should be a connector there, and should be three wires..... the parts store is looking at the RE trans, you have an RH.

First pic is the park/neutral switch. (right under the linkage.) The connector for the solenoids should be right above, maybe slightly to the rear... of the rear cooler line. Can't really see it in the pic. If you have a two wire connector there that is indeed strange.

Should only be two electrical connectors that actually connect to something ON the trans..... Can you get a pic of the other one??
