I am going back to the shop this week to finish up a couple of things. I will get them to point out the cable, fix it and tell me what those other little do-dads are.

I did not take a good digital picture of the transmission connectors upon disassembly and, quite frankly, don't remember what I hooked up. I do remember taking a couple things loose after seating the engine mounts so we could tilt it again to get the darn connector (lock ring) in place. I must have fiddled with that connector for 30 minutes. (I am still not sure what I did to line it up, I think maybe I placed the ring onto the transmission and then aligned it with the cable.)
