2002 mn6 cags
CAGS forces you to shift your manual transmission Corvette from first to fourth under light acceleration.
but my CAGS Light will occasionally come on and I CAN shift from 1st to 2nd easily, and always ! not forced into 4th.
Is that right ?

Sounds like your car already has the CAGS bypass installed. It is essentially a resistor that that fools the computer into thinking the lockout has blocked you from being able to shift into 2nd and 3rd. Light still comes on when the bypass is installed, you just don't have to shift 1st to 4th.
This is how they act w/CAGS bypass installed.That's one mod done!

The CAGS eliminator is cheap and easy to install,,and I would guess that the vast majority of M6 drivers have done it!! I'd wager yours had it before you bought it. The 1 to 4 signal still lights even though the actual solenoid signal from computer is blocked!!Enjoy the benefits,,it is much more pleasurable to drive without CAGS!!!

When you have your first custom tune done,,,,have the tuner take that message out. You have a car with the cags bypass installed. It is on the passenger side under the car about under the passenger seat.
