Transmission.

Actually, it's a 1st to 4th CAGS (Computer Assisted Gear Selection). Maybe that's what you meant - it skips 2nd and 3rd.

Pick a forum vendor and buy a CAGS eliminator for $15 to $20. Plugs right into the solenoid on the transmission.

This picture is from the Corvette Garage site:



Or, you can disable it with tuning software from a Predator to LS2 Edit.

Also, I think in the FAQ's there's a link to a discussion about buying a resistor at Radio Shack for 5 cents if you want a real cheap DIY job.

Can anyone point me to someplace I can buy an eliminator that does not require any zip tie? Most eliminators I've found only plug into the harness and require it to be zip tied to the transmission. I know there are some in which you can plug one end into the harness and the other into the transmission, thereby eliminating the need for zip tie. Who sells these? I have a simple resistor in there now, but am looking for a more permanent solution.

SLP Performance Products, Ecklers, Zip, Mid America and probably several others have a CAGS adapter that connects the wiring harness to the solenoid.

I dunno what's the problem with using a zip tie to hold it up out of the way - that's what I did with my install a year-and-a-half ago and it hasn't given any problems.

Take a look at this CAGS eliminator from forum vendor Zip-products. It looks like it might be one solid unit. It's still gonna add a couple inches in length to the wiring harness to the solenoid and it still might be best to zip tie the slack in the harness up out of the way.
