mine is 700r4
those 2 wires that connect to the transmission. one goes on the tail part and i looked on the driverside part of the trans. but couldn't find anything to plug the other one into, anyone got a picture? and also I want to know where you have your wires ran, I got mine going under the transmission pan but that can't be right because it's such a tight fit to plug in the tail housing plug.

Re: how do you guys have your wires routed

The other ones should be a set of three wires, right? Mine goes to a socket that is on the driver's side of the transmission. You probably can't see it because it it plugs straight down into a socket that is facing upwards on the transmission. It should route over top of the transmission, or more likely come directly from a cluster of wires on the driver side. Get on your back and feel around the area directly above the trans oil pan on the driver's side. It's a square socket and your plug should only fit in one way based on the clip in the plug. If you can't find it, I will try and send a pic because I actually have to mess with the same thing today or tomorrow.

Re: how do you guys have your wires routed

yeah I know it's somewhere up there but i couldn't get it plugged. do you think you could also get me a picture of how your wires are routed from the harness to the transmission? It would really help me a lot .

Re: how do you guys have your wires routed

found where both plugs go but still need to know how the wires should be routed from the passenger side engine bay to the driver side plugs. are the supposed to go over the transmission instead of under? i cannot get enough length on my wires to plug them in.

Re: how do you guys have your wires routed

Put em over the top but don't pinch them, if you're having a lot of trouble tho and you're good at soldering id say just lengthen the wires and use some good heat shrink on the joints, but not too much obviously cuz you don't wanna drag the wires on the ground if you go under
