Get an iCags Skip-Shift Eliminator, and get it fast. Lots of places sell them online and installing it is extremely simple provided you can get under your car. That skip-shift annoyed the $#@$ out of me, wish I would have done it much sooner!

On the C4's, you could just crawl underneath the car and unplug the solenoid from the tranny. I don't know if the C5's require anything more than that but you might not have to buy anything.

You can't simply disconnect the skip shift solenoid on the newer cars!!! The car's computer wants to see a resistance at the end of the wiring harness or it will throw-up a trouble code. The aftermarket CAGS Defeat includes the resistor to fool the car's computer. Others have simply gerryrigged a 2200 ohm (my memory could be faulty regarding this resistance value) resistor across the wiring harness terminals to do the same thing if not as elegantly. The aftermarket device also protects the solenoid end with a connector cap to protect it against the elements to allow future reconnection if you desire.

A CAGS Eliminator would be a great buy for you. Install it and never worry about the 1-4 shift again. Install takes maybe 10-15 minutes.
