Default CAGS connector is different!

I just received my CAGS eliminator and the connectors are different and it doesn't fit!!!! I have an '07 vert/Z51. I've checked all the standard online Corvette supply places and none of them show a different part # for 07 or Z51. The new connector is still oval, but the male part of the connector is "T" shaped. Anyone else have this problem?

Are you sure you are looking at the right connection? Their are several on the manual transmission. It is clearly marked CAG.

Yeah, for a while I was trying to plug into the wrong wire until my blind, deaf & dumb cat crawled under the car and pointed out the correct one.

All you have to do is remove the #10 fuse which is connected to nothig else and that will take care of your CAGS.

Ok, this was user error!!! After jacking up the car, I looked under it and saw a connection near the bottom of the transmission in the back and assumed this was the CAGS. Today I jacked up the car and crawled underneath and the CAGS connection is above this connection near the top of the transmission.
