Skip shift install
Are the wires from and to the skip shift cable nearer to the driver or passenger side of the vehicle. I have no lift and will have to wriggle under the car install the new cable.

There's plenty of videos on Youtube showing where it's located and how to install. Below is just one of the many videos.

Not difficult at all if you are able to get under the car.

x 2. It's on the driver's side, toward the top.Notably, there's a similar looking, slightly easier to reach connection that will accept the CAGS Eliminator, but installing it there prevents the transmission from going into Reverse.

Correct, the CAGS is a waste of money. Skip shift only occurs under light throttle conditions (heavy traffic) between 14 and 19 mph. Shift before or after the speed window and never run into skip shift or be aggressive on the throttle. Check the OM to see how it works and train yourself to avoid it. It happens to me every now and then but that is usually because I am not paying attention to how slow the cars in front of me are moving.

IF you don't have any way to lift your car, you could drive it up a driveway with 2 wheels on 1 side on the curb, parallel to the street, to get 1 side up.
On the c6's, removing or shorting a fuse would disable this. I wonder if this would also work on a c7?
