I only had one wierd thing w/ mine but it was operator error. I decided to do the Radio Shack mod. so I bought the resistor and installed it. Only to find out my CAGS was still working. WTF?
So I jacked the car back up and checked my work. Turns out the pins on the xmission connector simply pushed the resistor aside and continued making contact w/ the cable from the computer. I just bent the pins out of the way and all has been well for 1,200 miles and only cost me $1.

One to Four Shift Light
(Manual Transmission)
When this light comes on,
you can only shift from
FIRST (1) to FOURTH (4)
instead of FIRST (1) to
SECOND (2).
You must complete the shift into FOURTH (4) to turn off
this feature. This helps you get the best possible fuel
economy.
After shifting to FOURTH (4), you may downshift to a
lower gear.
Notice: Forcing the shift lever into any gear except
FOURTH (4) when the 1 TO 4 SHIFT light comes
on may damage the transmission. Shift only from
FIRST (1) to FOURTH (4) when the light comes on.
This light will come on when:
• The engine coolant temperature is higher than
169°F (76°C),
• you are going 15 to 19 mph (24 to 31 km/h) and
• you are 21 percent throttle or less.

Drive it like you stole it. I never had one on my C5 and won't need one on my C6 either.
