C6 CAGS-SKIP skip shift eliminator
C6 CAGS-SKIP skip shift eliminator -- $14.00
If you're irritated by the 1-4 shift lockout in your 6 speed C6, we have a simple, plug in product to disable it. Although some folks never seem to notice the shift lockout, for many of us it pops up unexpectedly, in traffic, between stop signs, etc.
As many of you know, there are two basic installation methods to get rid of the 1-4 shift lockout. Either install a connector at the transmission, or replace a fuse in the underhood fuse panel.
This product is a fuse replacement device. We went this route for a few reasons: It’s a heck of a lot easier to install than a transmission based eliminator - if you can change a fuse, you can install it. Just flip open the fuse panel cover, replace one fuse with our C6 CAGS-SKIP, close the cover, and you’re done.
Many C6 owners prefer to remove their skip shift eliminator before going in for service, or would simply like the option to easily return to stock. It doesn’t get any easier or faster than removing and replacing a single fuse. No need to lift your Vette to install or remove it. And, since our product is installed in the covered fuse panel, you don’t have anything extra in the exposed environment under your car.
How It Works:
In the C6, GM was nice enough to route the skip shift solenoid through its own dedicated fuse. If you simply remove the fuse, you’ll stop the shift lockout, but that’ll also cause the MIL (check engine light) to come on. Obviously, that’s not a good idea, since you may not know when another problem could cause the light to go on.
Instead, we replace the fuse with a fixed resistance. This satisfies your Vette’s fault checking circuitry, and safely eliminates the shift lockout without setting any codes or illuminating the MIL.
How It’s Made:
We take a mini fuse and replace the element with a high quality, high temperature resistor. We then use both rigid and flexible conductive materials to ensure a secure connection that is resistant to heat and vibration stresses, and repeated removal and reinsertion. Finally, we inject an epoxy compound into the fuse body to ensure a long and reliable service life.
That may sound like a bit of overkill, but I’ve had one of these working perfectly in my ’09 for over 2 years, and I like the extra peace of mind. So do our customers.
Our C6 CAGS-SKIP is not simply a blown LED type fuse. We’re aware of cases where those may not always work, or may not be 100% reliable. We also think they allow too much current to flow through the system. We prefer using components that limit current to a lower level, reducing power dissipation, and increasing reliability.
Our C6 CAGS-SKIP works in all manual transmission 2005-2012 Corvettes, and is backed by a one year limited warranty. If our CAGS-SKIP doesn’t function properly in your C6, simply let us know within 2 weeks, and we’ll refund your purchase price.
All of our products are in stock, and we typically ship all orders by the next business day (same day whenever possible).
