Drive it like a Vette and you will never need a skip shift eliminator

It's still in break-in

It will also be my semi-DD, which I am sure will mean I will be in a situation where CAGS kicks in often enough.

Its only in traffic that I found that the CAGS kicked in, but it was very annoying when it did, love the eliminator! Wouldn't be without it!

Can't you just pull the #10 fuse for the same result?

Just ordered one. I don't have the Vette yet - it's on order. This will help me get through the awful wait for the car!

Got mine and installed this weekend. Easy as can be to install, and works like a charm. Now I have control over the car.

Can't you disable the 1-4 skip shift feature by Removin the #10 fuse which
is the fuse that powers the solenoid for the skip shift feature? ... I haven't tried it, but it just seems logical...

Peace!

This kit will allow you to disable the Computer Aided Gear Selection (CAGS) feature of your C5 Corvette's 6-speed gearbox. This kit uses genuine Delphi Packard Electric Systems division connectors, plugs and seals to protect your wiring harness and CAGS solenoid to allow you to re-connect the harness for full CAGS function, if you so desire. This kit is designed for use on both the standard MN6 Corvette's 6-speed gearbox and also the M12 Z06 Corvette's 6-speed gearbox. No permanent modifications are required to install this product.

Takes 5 mins to install and is easily reversible.

Each Kit comes with complete installation instructions.

NOTE: This kit will prevent the CAGS solenoid from engaging but the "1 to 4" light on the dash will still illuminate when skip shift conditions are met.

It isn't about "knowing how to drive a manual properly," or about "driving it like it's a vette." The CAGS thing is annoying because it prevents you from shifting how YOU want. Which is exactly the point of a manual transmission. I don't want to be forced to lug my engine along in fourth gear at 15 miles an hour, or accelerate past the threshold to coax the computer into letting me shift to second.

This is an essential mod in my book. I find CAGS to be distracting and even dangerous.
