Broken Cables And Clips In Auto Trans

[vbevan]

Took off valve body. However, in process snapped the two clips that hold the connectors together (same part that breaks on coil packs). Also, found the blue cable has been sheared, most likely when I bumped the pan good and proper. And this cable leads to the "lock-up control valve" and other lock-up bits which explains the error I was getting (lock-up solenoid error).

Not, can those connectors be fixed/replaced without replacing the whole thing? Same question for blue cable. I'm thinking of just doing some creative soldering with the blue cable. Should fix it easy enough. Not too sure about the connectors. Any advice would be great.

No damage here from a quick look. Good start.

The orange and grey clip hanging down here are where the clips that hold it have slipped off. You can also see the blue cable with nothing on the end

And here's the other end of the poor blue wire. Obviously got sheared when the pan got damaged.

those clips break alllll the time. just plug them back together and wrap a cable tie around them with cable tie going between the two wires on each side, as for the broken wire clean it good an proper solder them back together an maybe put some heat shrink over the wire to cover the join
