Re: 89 6 speed question (chuck89)
The feature you speak of is called CAGS (Computer Aided Gear Selection). It can be disabled. There's a large blue connecter that runs next to the transmission - I believe it's on the drivers' side, but I'm not 100% sure. You can just disconnect it. If you want to make it look nice and tidy, you can get a dead terminal that either end of the connector will plug into. It's available from any of the big Corvette parts/accessories suppliers (Mid America, Ecklers, ect...). It's only used to keep the two ends of the harness from rusting out; electrical tape would probably do just as good a job.

Re: 89 6 speed question (Black 'n Blue)
or you can just start out in 2nd gear :blueangel: gotta love that L98 torque :D
Besides, I find that the best (and easiest) way to avoid CAGS interferance is to just let the engine rev higher before changing from first to second gear. No mess, no fuss.
