Default Question about CAGS install..

:lol: I feel silly for having to ask you guys - BUT - after the CAGS eliminator has been installed; should I still "receive" the 1/4 shift light on the dash? It doesn’t make me shift into 4th but the light still comes on..

Let me know,

BP

:yesnod: Yup. The light still activates because the PCM " thinks" everything is still original and that the solenoid is activating. This keeps from throwing trouble codes. Just ignore the light and have fun! :D

This is completely normal... Some aftermarket programs can eliminate the shift light if you want to go that route but I wouldn't be concerned in any way!

Hey, yea I sold my 99A4 and bought a new 2002.. I lucked into a great deal and found "the right buyer" for my car and it all just fell into place. So I had to buy it.. :lol: :smash:

I will try and get some pics up soon, but she is all stock (for now ;) ) and the mods are on thier way.. hehe..

Take care,

BP

Its a TOTALLY different car, and I cant begin to tell you how much fun it is to be able to control how much torque you are using when pasing and going through the turns.. In the A4, it was either ALL OUT - ***** TO THE WALL - or just putting around.. With the M6 Z - I have much more control of the car at all times.. and let me tell you - this thing handles like it is on RAILS! I cant believe I am driving a stock car..

Honestly, I am holding back man, this car is the bomb! I dont want to rant and rave about it, cause some would see that as boastful - but - for crying out loud - if you know of ANYONE that has one around you - PLEASE - go for a ride and you will see what I mean and want to say what I am holding back.................................... ...
