Wow.
I just installed my Phastek skip shift eliminator.
That was one of the most annoying jobs I've ever done.
Pulling the connector out of the socket was absolutely brutal.
I had to use TWO long flat head screw drivers. The first, to wedge into the base of the connector and start prying it outwards. The second, to come in from the side to push the white retaining clip upwards so the connector could come out.
It sounds like the connector is not always oriented like this. On mine, the retaining clip was actually at 12'oclock, meaning, not visible at all from underneath the car. If yours is at any other angle, it will be easier. Just pray that it wasn't like mine.
Getting the connector out was the worst. Followed closely by getting the dummy connector back in. That one my wife with small hands had to do. Zip tying was not easy either. All in all, a major PITA.
But, I took it out directly after and....NO SKIP SHIFT.
CELEBRATION!!!
