Hey Guys,

On my 2004 C5 when taking off from a stop, at a certain rpm range a light appears that basically tells me to shift from 1st to 4th, but in city driving i dont always want to, is there a way to disable this? what is it? and why would anyone possibly want a car telling us how to drive? haha

Thanks,
-Aaron

Is it just the light or are you locked out of 2nd and 3rd gears? Also did you purchase the car used?

2nd and 3rd are locked, i either have to speed up or slow down to get into 2nd, yes used, 5,800km's on it, but the light is legit, its on the dash, so i dont think its after market

They make a bypass that many of the vendors here sell. Called a skip shift eliminator. It just plugs in, the light still shows but it does NOT LOCK out the gears.

sounds good! do u happen to know how hard of an install it is? or how much it costs? and why they would put this option on this car? haha, thanks!

They put it on from GM to save fuel (I believe)
Price for the device is CHEAP takes only 5 minutes to install but you need to get under the car to do it.
Here is a vendor that can be trusted.
