Broken Cables And Clips In Auto Trans

Took off valve body. However, in process snapped the two clips that hold the connectors together (same part that breaks on coil packs). Also, found the blue cable has been sheared, most likely when I bumped the pan good and proper. And this cable leads to the "lock-up control valve" and other lock-up bits which explains the error I was getting (lock-up solenoid error).

Not, can those connectors be fixed/replaced without replacing the whole thing? Same question for blue cable. I'm thinking of just doing some creative soldering with the blue cable. Should fix it easy enough. Not too sure about the connectors. Any advice would be great.

No damage here from a quick look. Good start.

The orange and grey clip hanging down here are where the clips that hold it have slipped off. You can also see the blue cable with nothing on the end :D

And here's the other end of the poor blue wire. Obviously got sheared when the pan got damaged.

those clips break alllll the time. just plug them back together and wrap a cable tie around them with cable tie going between the two wires on each side, as for the broken wire clean it good an proper solder them back together an maybe put some heat shrink over the wire to cover the join

      My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.

      Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).

      Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers

      Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.

      Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
