Default CLB question - how do you know if installed?

Bought a car from forum member here and he said the car was in the dlrship to have the CLB fixed.. however, I told him they probably just reflashed the ecu.. but he wasn't sure if that was all. So when I get the car how can I tell if the car had the clb or not? And also a good website i can get it from if it doesn't? Thanks!

One way is to take off gently from a stop sign/signal, watch your dash for the 1-4 light (yellowish) to appear. At that moment, try to shift to second. If you do, it IS installed. If you end up in 4th. It ISN'T installed.

Here are two good links:

I waited to install mine when I disassembled the dash/console to put in a Hurst shifter. Made it a bit easier with the console part of the dash out of the way.

To tell if you have the CLB, simply try to rotate your steering wheel with the engine off, key out of ignition. If the column locks, you don't have the bypass. If you can turn the wheel freely, the CLB is installed.


www.thunderracing.com is the site to buy the CLB

The call it a CLS - here is the page: http://www.thunderracing.com/catalog...d=220&pcid=156

I've put the one from Corvettes of Houston on my 98. Was a simple install and no more worrying.

That's pretty much it. If you can move the wheel and not feel it lock, then you have the CLB installed.
