Default Quicky Question here

The manual shift by pass, from 1st to 4th is called CAGS, correct? Would someone pass on what the acronym CAGS stands for?

TIA

CAGS is also an acronym for the 'Corvette Tax' [Come And Get Screwed].

It's not the bypass that's called CAGS, it's the feature itself that forces you from first to fourth at low speeds. You need a CAGS DEFEAT.

Or just unplug it. Aftermarket suppliers make caps to keep each end from getting dirty when unplugged.

Thats all the 'CAGS eliminator' is, you just unplug it and put 'dummy' caps back on to avoid codes and dirt.

Thanks All. Yep, mine is bypassed but all I wanted to find out was what the acronym stands for. Figure that "Corvette's Attract Girls Seductively" says it best! Mark would know.

I realy would be appreciated for feed back on this issue. also the other side of the options, I realy want to stay with a automatic transmission. so what tranny would you peaple suggest to hook onto this application to push the 72 1/2 ton down the street with snappy reactions and still be a nice daily driver to depend on when ever it was driving down the street. please any feed back will be realy appreciated
You may want to start a new thread for that one. I'm sure someone will be able to answer all your questions
