for all you humor deprived souls that haven't the faintest perception of what fun is, or just get your humor from the dirty jokes of a comedy club. here is a different perspective of what I was attempting to convey.
The '04 I just bought, with a 6 speed doesn't have a skip shift eliminator. however I've noticed that the 1-4 shift indicator on the dash goes off @ 2,000 rpm, and was wondering if anyone ever shifted out of 1st gear at under 2,000 rpm. It doesn't seem to affect the way I drive anyway.

p.s. btw God did have mercy on my soul many years ago, and has blessed it ever since. That is THE reason I don't just live life, But LIVE LIFE
and can have fun, enjoy humor and enjoy having others use me as a subject of their humor.

Methinks you overlooked the sarcasm in my post... I wuz jus havin fun to!

I can chuckle at the Hoosier speak,just tone it down a bit so it's understandable!!
Ya, what he said!!

Yup, just git the eliminator. It's cheap and an easy install. The damn light still comes on but you learn to ignore it.
