My mechanic said that the 2007 transmissions electrical components don’t connect up correctly with the 1999 wiring. Is there a harness or wiring configuration that can be used to hook up the 07 tranny correctly.

Auto? I don't believe it will work since your C5 computer won't know how to converse withl the C6 trans even if you get the wiring correct.
