transmission help

i removed the trans from my 97 windstar 3.8 to replace the front seal. in doing so i damaged the electrical connections on the top of the trans. one is a little l\black box that i think is the shifter control or something, this one is no problem it came off easy. the other one which is right beside it is the problem. i don't know what it is called to get a new one and i can't get it out to show the parts guy what i'm talking about. it lookis like it might screw in or be held in with a clip or something. it will rotate but won't come out. can anyone help?

I am not sure of exactly what you are talking about.
I have a picture that shows some items that are under the air filter/MAF/hose assembly.....with them removed.
I labeled a couple of items there.
If it is not one of them......but is by some lucky break in the picture....you might print it out and show them?

here is a pic of the conections i'm talking about pic is top of trans

the white plug in the middle is what i'm having trouble removing, or atleast the name of it would help too

update:

it is the connection next to the range sensor, ontop of the transmission. the part is $45. the problem now is that the van is all put back together and to change this connestion the side pan and "something"-body inside the pan (i forgot what the guy called it) has to come off to get to a clip that is holding the connection in place. anyone know if this is possible with the trans inplace or will i have to lower it again to do this. GOD i hope not.

note to self: never try to work on a transmission again
