Default disconnect the skip shift?

I had a 1993 6 speed that I disconnected the skip shift simply by the quick disconnect wire. I now have an 03 6spd. Can I do the same to this car to eliminate unwanted 1 to 4 shifts? Thanks

From what I understand, a 2.2K ohm resistor will solve the CEL.

If you are going to add some mods and are in need of a tune, have it done then. I had my tuner 'erase' the skip shift after the head cam install. Just a thought....

I have a CAGS eliminator on my desk at home. It's brand-new, and never used (I haven't opened the box). I don't need it. I'll give it to you for $15...shoot me a PM if you're interested.

Grab the one above for $15. It will be the best $15 you ever spend. Add two minutes to your next oil change and you'll be all set.

I'm swinging by Orange County Corvettes and West Coast Corvetters sometime this week, I'm buying one then. Maybe my M6 will actually act like a manual and not an A4,

I have some 2.2kohm resistors left over from when I did my Trans Am. If I can put my hands on them, I'll send you one for free. I have 3-4 left over. I need to find them so I can do the vette anyway...
