Skip Shift Eliminator
Absolute first post. This has probably been covered 2000 times, but I couldn't figure out how to search the forum. Just got my sweetheart and want to do away with the stupid 1-4 skip shift. (Is it too much to be allowed to play with all the gears I paid for?) Anyone have experience with the West Coast Corvettes plug in device or some other way to do this?

Duh!?!
Figured out how to search (no rocket scientist here), but still didn't see anything on the West Coast Corvette eliminator device. Suggestions?

Welcome to the forum! 
I got a skip shift from LAPD and it works just as advertised. I know that you can aviod the skip shift by keeping up the RPM's in first but the very few times that it kicked in it was a real PITA. As for WCC, I have ordered from them also and they are very good to work with IMO.
Again welcome and enjoy your ride,

If you really want it, don't pay over $30. It is just a resistor that tricks the computer into think the selonoid has engaged. The light will still come on, but the lock will not come up.
Off the top of my head I do not know the 50 cent resistor value, maybe some will chime in.
The 30 bucks, gets you a weather proof plug, that is all, so If you can make your own, do it.

I really thought about doing the resistor myself, but I ended up ordering one from MidAmerica, something like $17. Traffic is the only time when I have the stupid cags activate, and that seems to be the most dangerous time for it to!
edit: The website shows a Z28, but the resistor is basically the same install on the C5.

Congrats on the new car and welcome to the forum.
The skip shift eliminator was my first mod as well as the skip shift caught me a few times in parking lots when I wasn't expecting it. I bought mine from Ecklers for about $20. Personally, I think you can't go wrong with any brand. This is a really simple mod.
