What is a 1-4 skip shift Eliminator? On my c6 Manual I don't have any issues going from 1st to 2nd... then 3rd to 4th. What problem does this eliminate?

southerncarparts

The CAGS solenoid came factory installed on most if not all C5 and C6 manual transmissions to avoid the gas guzzler tax. It forces you to shift from 1 to 4 above a certain RPM point (somewhere around 3,000) rather than letting you shift however you want, whenever you want. This kit just bypasses the solenoid without permanently modifying the car or disrupting any other standard functions.
If you don't ever drive in such a way that skip shift conditions are met, you won't ever encounter it. For a lot of people, though, it's pretty obnoxious having a standard transmission tell you how to drive your car.

Thanks,
Dave

Thanks Dave, we can take this offline if you want but I have a 2005 manual c6 and thought I could stay in 1st, go into 2nd whenever, and same for 3rd and 4th... I have never been blocked from going into 2nd or 3rd driving around town.

That's why I am trying to get a grasp on the product, I may infact have a need for it, I just can't see how others are using it.

Thanks again all,

Shane

Sounds to me like you're in the clear. If you aren't aware of the problem, in this case I'd say there isn't one. If you're concerned, feel free to give us a call at 678-463-4739 and I'll gladly talk it over with you.

Thanks,
Dave

Anyone tried the fuse replacement sold by Corvette Mods? Looks like a more straight forward solution to the CAGS solenoid.

southerncarparts

Yes, many have....do a search in the forum and you will see. You would be shocked how many customers bought this and then came to us a few months later because the burned our fuse approach failed and caused an engine code.

This is the only way to do it right....Or program it out with a tuner

Is FREE Shipping still included (to US Continental) in this offer?

southerncarparts

Typically I ship via priority mail for about $5, but if you put a note in the order comments asking for first class mail shipping I can waive the cost of shipping.

Thanks,

Ok, I am feeling pretty stupid. I have an 09 C6 with manual transmission. I sometimes see the dashboard light come on, they 1-4 light which I assume is telling me to shift gears. Most of the time it is when I am in 1st. This device is supposed to eliminate the auto gear shift that sounds more like it goes with an automatic paddle shift trans?

Or does it just eliminate the dash light coming on? Because obviously with a manual trans it is in the gear I want it to be in. Please excuse my ignorance about this but I am just having trouble understanding exactly what it is for.

Thanks

It applies to the manual transmissions only.

When you're using low throttle in 1st gear, and are within a certain RPM range, that light on the dash will come on. if you choose to shift gears while that light is on, a solenoid guides the shifter towards 4th gear once you pull it out of 1st. Sometimes when this happens i'll just leave the clutch in until the light goes away and shift to 2nd. When I get forced into 4th the RPMs are quite low most of the time and it just doesn't sound healthy.
