Actually I like CAGS. When I am joy riding around town in the economy mood I use CAGS all the time. I think I shift at about 20MPH from 1st to 4th. When I want to step into it or enjoy the revs I just shift it when I want but then of course CAGS is not an issue then. CAGS did fool me a few times before I new what it was. I remember thinking to myself I know I was in 1st gear but somehow I ended up in 4th. To each his own I guess.

I don't have it and wouldn't spend $1 on it! I drive the car and shift a higher RPM's (just the way Zora intended! 
) and it almost never comes up. Just drive through it! Just because the lamp illuminates doesn't mean you HAVE to shift!

In my case the sensor went out and turn the check engine light on. I was told it was over $100 for a new one. So I told the mechanic about the cags for $20, he had never heard about them. I only knew because of this forum. But after the install Check engine light has not come on, not because of that reason anyway. So which way would have gone in that case? I think it is well worth the money.

I haven't done it either and probably won't bother. It has never come up when I've been behind the wheel. I've had it happen to others driving it, but I can't even seem to make it kick in when I try.

It proved you were shifting too soon....
