Transmission Fault - Limited Gears Available / No Start

I only bring this up because of the info toward the end of this document. If the grounds and CAN circuits check out good, you may need a close inspection at the connector.

From this photo (taken on the side of the trail 2 weeks ago), pin 14 looks pushed in and something is definitely “off” with 16. Hopefully it’s not a broken pin. I’m returning home from a work trip, I’m both excited and nervous to check the connector out this weekend.
Here’s a video from Gary Ferraro (amazing transmission mechanic) discussing the repair for a broken TCU pin:

It should, in theory, snap back into place. For it to not then there is a broken catch and a replacement connector may be needed. There is decent force on those pins when connecting, but you could try to use some JB weld or other such super high temp compound from the backside to act as a plug to prevent the wire from pushing out. Great care would be needed. I am thinking the JB Weld metal repair may work best since its high temp and like clay, so its workable without running all over the place.

Wire would not go further into the connector but easily slipped right out the back. I think it left the factory not installed properly and it was “fine” until I removed it to replace the valve body seals. Very glad this didn’t manifest itself when I took the family on vacation in August.
The white retainer clip should withdraw and let me push the wire back in, but I cannot get it to move beyond 1/8”. Rather than force anything and make more trouble for myself, I think I’m going to leave it alone until Monday and see if I can find someone to make a house call.
