Excellent product and very easy to install. Drove the car up on the race ramps and had all the room I needed. Very easy install once you remember the transmission is in back! In traffic back ups its nice to be able to select 2nd at a low speed/throttle position.

how do you intall? can you point me to instructions? will I need a ramp or lift?
being forced to shift 1-4 is a PITA, it always happens when you are least expecting and don't want it to happen. Sure you can consciously think about it and there is then no need for it, but I want to reserve all my brain cells for ENJOYING driving it

Comes with instructions....if you get it and decide that the installation is too much for you, I will take it back.....I am confident that you will keep it when you see the install.
Parting words, I have sold hundreds of these to forum members and have NEVER EVER had a return on the skip shift.
See ya,

I have one of these on my '08 no problems.
Before it was installed I only experanced the "ship shift" two or three times. the "skip shift" activated times I was in heavy traffic coming off of a stop light and it was forcing me into forth. I did not like the feeling, it throws you off, feels like something is wrong. If I want to shift into second ... then let me shift to second. If I had wanted the car to shift I would have bought a automatic.
This was enough to get me to put the kit on.

I bought my 'Vette previously owned and it must already have the shift thing in it because I've noticed that I can go from 1 - 2 when it is illuminated. I also had some mods that I didn't know did not come standard like a complete Borla exhaust system, latest Nav DVD for the east coast and other minor things. I couldn't be more tickled with my RIDE if you'd stick a feather up my....nose. The dealership was oblivious to the mods and additions. Good for them and me!

I'll pick one up since there are other things I want on your site but I thought my skip shift was broken until I intentionally tried to make it work just to see. Sure enough the way I drive I don't seem to need it. I have one on my Camaro but that one would kick in all the time but I guess I drive the Vette differently.

Had '05 with eliminator & liked it. Now have '08 without and have goten used to it when it infrequenly engages. '08 averages 2.5 mpg better without the eliminator. That makes mpg a consideration in my mind.

Just installed mine and I love it. I know many of you say the CAG does not kick in, but if I drive it to get mileage the CAGs would go off all the time, even in a 08.
20 bucks well spent.
