Default Skip shift eliminator

Has anybody installed this on a 2004 m6 car? The Reason I Ask Is I Got One From Mid America. The connector I was looking at under the car may not have been the right connector. Is the connector in a different spot than were I was looking. The directions say it's up aginst the transaxle on the drivers side but I didn't see it but I did not have the car off the ground. The two wire connection I did see fit the plug in for the eliminator but the cap for the other end did not fit. Makes me think I was looking at the wrong plug. But it has to be a connection just like that.

You are going to have to crawl under there it's a bit of a ways up.

CAGS solenoid is located on the drivers' side of the transmission towards the top and rear of the transmission. The wiring harness connector is white and blue in color.

Thanks I believe I was looking at the wrong connection. I will have to get the car off the ground to see the connection I need to see.

There's a very similar looking connector for Reverse Lockout that's closer to the ground. Common error

I have an old-fashioned skip-shift set-up. Most of the time I just go from 1st to 3rd. From there it depends on my mood and the conditions.

You can also delete the skip shift thing with a mail order tune for $150 as well as a mild tune to boot-- that adds 15-17 RWHP !!!-----best choice----send the part back and get it all done at once--Several mail order tuners on the forum---
