I'm struggling to complete a Transgo Jr install on an 08 2500HD and I need some advice. While putting the valve body back into the truck, I pulled a wire out of one of the connectors to one of the solenoids on the valve body. I don't think I can repair the connector while it's on the truck. The wire is too short and there is no room to work. I do think it's repairable if I cut the wire so that I can take the connector to the work bench to fix it. Once repaired, I could splice the wires back together and reconnect to the solenoid. Since these wires are normally immersed in trans fluid, I don't suppose it would matter if the splice is also immersed after the repair. Anyone know of any better way to repair this? When I say the wire pulled out of the connector, I mean the end of the wire pulled out of the crimped end of the connector. The metal crimp is protected by the plastic shell and tough to get to.

That would be cool. Can you offer some advice on how that's done? I've attached a couple of photos to show what I'm working with.

unplug the external harness, and if you have a 32mm 12 socket, it will fit over the internal harness and you can give it a gentle tap, it will compress the locking tabs and allow you to remove it from the inside.

Put it all back together and test drove it. I have both forward and reverse but after a relatively hard shift out of first, the trans went to third gear and stayed there. I'm not sure where to go from here.
