Yep, yep. It came with the 3 solenoids and the sensor/transducer. And I got the retainer you was talking about(post-2000 wraps around the sensor and holds her in, pre-2000 don't, mine had a zip tie wrapped around it on the inside of the housing). I was talking about the old wiring matches up to the new solenoids, just not the sensor. was hoping for a plug and play, but I guess that'd be too easy. Thought about splicing the old wiring with the new plug so i could use the new sensor with the old wiring, but i reckon I better not! Looks like I have some homework tonight, figuring out how to drop the valve body.

Is that the internal connector, where the O/D, and TCC solenoids connect to the harness for the governor stuff? Wonder if they sent you the wrong set......

It all matched up to the original trans. But I did manage to get it all put together and so far she's running good. Almost gave up on finding a way around the valve body but one last search and there it was! Instead of dropping the body you can take off the 3-4 spring housing with 3 t25 screws. The other end of the wire harness is attached to the top of the housing. Just unplug the external connection, take out the screws and wiggle her down. Only thing I had to watch for was two springs, one of which has a metal spacer in between the spring and the housing. The video says you have to be careful, it likes to fly out of there, and can be a pain to hold in place while putting it back together. but mine got stuck on the head of another screw so She wasn't going anywhere, maybe I just got lucky! I took some pictures I was gonna post to show what I'm talking about but then I figured a link to the video would be even better! Thanks for all the help and I'll be in touch if she decides to wig out on me!
