Just drive the car like a Corvette and the CAGS will never once get in your way. You'll never klnow it's even there if you would just drive it and stop shifting the car at 1200 rpms.

Even cheaper is to simply not change gear during the 5 MPH window that CAGS operates in or, as mentioned, just press the go pedal a little bit harder.

Ah, but water can get in your connector and change the resistance over time, then you will get a code.

The ones you buy (for all of $20) come with a stock, weather-proof connector.

Good luck !

Good luck !

And they also come with a plug for the solenoid to prevent
corrosion there.

HEAT HEAT HEAT
Watch your resistors change value with all that heat under the car. . .

NO It will not change value over time.. what
It works fine. Mine has been there for over 4 years now.
A resistor plugged into the plug is going to get just as hot as a resistor molded(?) in a plastic plug!!
BTW, it is a 2.2Kohm resistor, 1/2watt(just so the wires fit into the plug securely).
