Can someone give me some pointers on how to disconnect transmission temp connector. Assuming the release is the tab at the top of the connector but no dice so far. Trying to do this non-destructively. Thanks.

Tab was on back side just packed with dirt. Used pliers and got it to come off. No breakage.
There’s a trans temp sensor in the 80? Does it transmit to OBD2 and could, therefore, be read
On a scangauge?

As far as I know that has never been cracked via scangauge or ultra gauge. Lots of threads on tapping for an analog gauge.

Late to this party but (FWIW) I've found that spraying harness connectors with CRC Quick dry electronics cleaner directly at the tab area and around the "seam" where the two connectors attach (which won't hurt the plastic or wires) seems to help unstick a harness connector that hasn't been disturbed in 25 years, particularly if it's a bit grimey/dirty on the outside (never use Carb, Throttle Body, or Brake cleaner however).

Just fought the harness out for a HG job where was this tip yesterday?! Just kidding, great tip, fighting old connectors was the Bain of my existence yesterday. Now on to replacing all the injector connectors those were very brittle.
