Re: Connector between tranny and shift linkage?

Yes, the shift linkage has to be removed to drop the pan. It takes a pretty good squeeze to get it back on. I'd say whoever put it back on didn't quite get it snapped into place and it worked its way off. Just crawl under and give it a pull, if it comes off easily then it'll have to be fixed. It should take a pretty good tug to get it off by hand. I usually stick a screwdriver or prybar in between the shift cable and linkage on the tranny to get it off, and press it back on with channel lock pliers.
