If you want to do a sanity check, put your multimeter on the two pins and check for continuity.
If you don't know which sensor is which, check for continuity on one sensor while someone shifts gear. Go from neutral to 4th, and 5th.
At some point the continuity will change. This will let you know what the sensor is measuring.
Take the transmission out of the particular gear that is setting off the sensor and note the continuity. This is what it should be all the time so the car doesn't know you're in the particular gear.
Remove the sensor, and insulate the plug.
I know you wanted to cut off the connector and pigtail the 2 wires together, but you would only do that if the sensor is normally closed. For a normally open sensor it would make the car think that you're in gear all the time.
So do this check to convince yourself that it's true. Repeat for the other 2 sensors.

Sorry but I don't.

I forgot. You are correct. I used something like an open end 17mm wrench and it works. Those adjustable wrenches are a pain.
