Popular mod. This was the first thing I did when I bought my C-5. Works great, no problems. I got mine from Mid America but one's probably as good as the other. You might also think about getting the Steering Column Lock Bypass too.

the skipshift forces you to go from 1st to 4th gear under certain driving conditions in a manual tranny. it was implemented to get a better MPG rating on the vettes, and avoid a gas guzzling tax.
