getting this stupid clip back on

[VROCIOUS]

anyone know how to do this? it's a 4l65e. Drivers side, it came off so easy, just popped it off with a screwdriver.
However cant get it back on to save my life, lined up up around both ways, bashed it, swore at it, abused it's mother and threatened it's life but it still wont go on. Currently held on with a hose clamp until I can figure it out.

More information please. What do you think the clip is associated with? Perhaps a more general photograph showing surrounding area in order to identify what and where. Whilst the supplied photo is very clear it is not very concise.

probably just have to push harder - and put it back where it came from.

Use lube is my guess.

Benboy, description of the area was in the post, couldnt get a better picture of a night time on my phone sorry.

Tried bashing in to no avail. Currently held in place with a hose clamp.

Some assemblies need the clip fitted in place first. Then the unit is pressed together.
Could that be the case here?

Now let me see, right hand side 4l65E !! Is that in the engine compartment, rear of the vehicle, underneath etc !! By the way - what is 4l65E? I can't find one labelled such in my machine. Perhaps you may just need a bigger hammer although if the hose clamp is doing the job - just leave it.

Nar savVYute the clip is a u shape sealing it all back up so it has to be the last component it. Might leave it in the too hard basket for now. Cheers guys

4L65E is a transmission benboy....and you can clearly see that the clip goes onto that bracket to hold that do hicky thingo.

It looks like the bit you need to hold in needs to further to the right in the picture, then the clip goes in and fits the narrow part of that do hicky thingo.
