Transmission Solenoid Pack Confusion...

I actually did wind up getting this done. I messed up the harness a little bit but finally got it done.

This is actually a HUGE help! Thank you. After being under that thing for hours on end, I can visualize it and I think I can do it. You definitely aren't alone in breaking locking tabs. I snapped almost all of the fuel line clips when I dropped the gas tank to replace the fuel pump, but I was able to buy some more.

Again, big thanks randomuser107. I used this YT video to figure out many of the electrical connectors and how to remove them.

How's it driving now? Everything back to A okay?

Thanks for asking. I'm still working on it. Some of the accumulator piston seals were pretty worn out so I decided to replace them and clean it up. I'm still waiting on a couple parts to ship. Mine has plastic accumulator pistons. Should I replace them with aluminum? They are not cracked or anything, but have some wear in the bottom where the springs hit. I figure since I already took it apart, I may as well tweak it to last.

I'm not expert enough to make that call. I stopped working on transmissions. I usually worked on some Subaru, Nissan, and Honda stuff. My personal opinion is if a metal part and a plastic part are available for the same application I would choose metal.
