Default skip shift

I was wondering Is there something you can do to skip 1-4 shift?

Sure buy the Skip Shift eliminator. there is a device sold by most of the vendors here to do just that. However I have had my MN6 for over 6 years now and I can count the time it happen on one hand. As long as you run first gear out a little it does not come into play.

Get the cags delete....the one that eliminates the dash light also...
It will **** you off when you need 2nd in an intersection. Or learn to run out 1st until the light goes out.

Another cure for this is an upgraded exhaust system.

One of the cheaper mods you can do to the car.

Here's a simple free way: just go past the 2000 rpm line where the light for the skip shift turns off. easy as that

I agree, if you dog it, it won't go to 2nd.
A little more RPMs and your there.

I had it tuned out on my Zo6 but my DD is a Z28 and it has it, must be one of the most annoying things ever. I drive that car like an old lady so I always get that damn light. I definitely need the eliminator
