Shift up light?
Just curiuos, I was reading somewhere that ZR1's have an up shift light. Is that true? if so is it deactivated when a chip is used to defeat the 1-4 shift skip? Can it be turned back on and still have the 1-4 shift bypassed. TIA. :cheers:

Yes, yes and yes. It is programmed to tell you when to shift for the most power, vs. the average car that tells you when to shift for maximum fuel economy!! You likely have a DRM chip - he removed the CAGS light, and the upshift light on his chips. It definitely can be programmed back in, as LPE did for me on my 368 - I was quite surprised to see it when it lit up, as I had never seen it before then!! Cags of course is still gone, as is the 1-4 shift light. :seeya

Just climb under your car and look at the left side of the trans. Unplug your CAGS (or skip shift) and use little zip ties to secure the connectors. Or even Mid America sells dummy plugs to keep the ends of the CAGS plugs clean.
No need for a chip just to get rid of the skip shift.

Re: Shift up light? (DDSLT5)
Yes indeed its a DRM chip. Ok I have the stock chip can I send it to someone and have the cags turned off, the fans programed for a lower temp and have the up shift light activated? Also does the DRM chip actually increase the HP at all? I have heard up to 15 HP with the chip and exhaust. Thanks Dwigtht looking foward to hearing about your adventures with the 415, that is the S H I T. TIA :cheers:

Can I order this chip directly from Doug? Is it difficult to install? The 1-4 upshift is bugging the hell out of me when I drive around town and try to avoid the "BlueHairs"!!! :cry

Re: Shift up light? (kabnvtt)
I wonder if the chip I got from Mark takes out the up shift light. I always liked seeing that light hit me in the face when I got on her. You may get 10-15 hp from a chip but thats all. As Mark Hibeck (sp) said in bg, the point of a chip is to help you not loose power. Or something along thouse lines, I can't remember the exact quote.

Re: Shift up light? (kabnvtt)
My cags is disabled but The shift light comes on and the 1-4 shift light comes on also I notice them especially at night but Im used to them
Im just glad the 1-4 shift is gone I hated that thing! I had it on my Z06 pissed me off every time becuase what if you had to punch it at that moment..
so I just drove fast everywhere and no more cags problems. :thumbs:
