42. Install the joint connector (G) on the connector bracket.
43. Connect the countershaft speed sensor connector (H).
44. Connect torque converter clutch solenoid connector (A) and shift solenoid valve B connector.
45. Connect the connectors to the A/T clutch pressure control solenoid valves A and B. then install the harness clips (C) on the brackets (D).
46. Connect the 8P connector (E), then install it on its connector bracket (F).
47. Install the transmission ground cable (B)
48. Connect the connectors to the mainshaft speed sensor (D), 4th clutch pressure switch (E), A/T clutch pressure control solenoid valve C (F), and shift solenoid valves A and C, then install the harness clips (G) on the brackets (H).
