This is a connector on a transmission for a 86 300SDL. I really don't want to break it and it giving me a hard time. If you can tell me I'd really appreaciate it. \
Thanks

I believe that white clip has to rotate.

I took mine off 6 years ago and then finally put it back on a month ago. What a ***** that was!

Yep, the white clip rotates to lock and unlock the plug, then it is easy to plug in or remove.
