You can buy a skip shift mod that will remove the eco friendly 1st to 4th shift feature.

Alon, no worries. This is a "feature" to reduce emissions ratings.
You can either shift at a higher rpm to avoid it, shift very slow and eventually it will take 2nd gear, or shift to 4th gear. OR buy the above cags eliminator and get rid of it.

You will do damage to the mechanism that makes the shifter go into 4th. You should not force it into 2nd. The way to avoid the 1to4 shift is to wind it up a little more in 1st. Conditions have to be perfect for the 1to4 to activate. You can bypass it with a shift eliminator.

I've had skip shifts in '07 Corvette, '09 SRT Challenger, '12 Corvette. This one is either the least obtrusive or I've just been trained by these cars to gun it so I don't run into it.
Just give it some gas. You'll never run into it again.

Note, the skip shift solenoid is white, others are black.

Please don't let the computer you fooled it!!
It will keep sending the message and you are doing no harm!
If you want to eliminate the message just shift out of 1st gear at 25 mph!
