CAGS Question
This feels funny asking newbie questions after having my '70 for the last 4 years and knowing so much about it....
But, How do I install the CAGS Eliminator harness? I take it most of you have done that?

Re: CAGS Question (Eric 96)
If you buy it from Ecklers or midAmerica, it comes with a nice pic. Very simple. You just disconnect from the tranny and plug the adapter in its place. My 1-4 light still comes on but I throw no codes. Once jacked up, its a 5 minute job.

Re: CAGS Question (cgtarga1)
He's right. You could just unplug the clip, but it throws a code (stupid cars). :) All the "eliminator" does is simulate the resistance that the CAGS soeinoid produces and the computer thinks its still hooked up. :cheers: Good luck.

I just put the CAGS on my Grand Sport. It only takes all of 45 seconds to do. BTW, the Forum hasn't been around for 4 years. :p:

Re: CAGS Question (96LT4)
Almost...I was on Dobbs before this forum started.
I guess what I meant was that I had my '70 for 4 years, and knew pretty much all the ins and outs.

Re: CAGS Question (Eric 96)
I put the CAGS eliminator on my 96 coupe shortly after it was new. I got it from Mid America I think. It had the resistor (or whatever it is) hanging off the side of it. That feature is not provided for the CAGS eliminator for pre-96 Vettes. Anyway, after installing it, the shift light does not come on, and it does NOT set a code. It works just like a fully manual transmission would be expected to work.
