ive got an m6 camaro and have seen these skip shift eliminators fs. and was wondering whats the pont of them? when my skip light comes on i just stick it into 2nd like normal. i have stuck it into 4th before. but it seems pointless. my question is why is it 30$ to get rid of the skip shift? should i not stick it into 2nd when the light comes on? any help would be great thanks

 

Skip shift or C.A.G.S (computer aided gear selection) is at part throttle less than 20% and below a certain MPH (when the light comes on) its supposed to block out 2nd and 3rd. So you go from 1st to 4th directly. Its just for gas milage reasons and how we got around the gas guzzler tax imposed by the government. Yours might be messed up or already have the skip shift module in it if its not blocking you out of 2nd and 3rd so no need to buy it.

 

so it stops u from shifting into 2nd huh? how do i know if i have one or mine is broken?

 

zto see if you have one, youd have to get under the car and on the tranny is a solenoid nesr the top on the Pass. side (I think). It should have a plug of some sorts in it.. or look for a dangling plug with something in it. Ill try to find some pics.

I was wrong.. drivers side.

 

i just went out and checked my car, and i think the last owner already installed one. thanks for the info. it helped a lot

 

Nada problem.

 

you seem to know a lot about this stuff. what mods should i do to my car? what do u have done to your ss? and what mods worked the best? if u dont want to answer the 2nd question it ok. any help would be great thanks. btw do u have an aim? might make it easier

 

It all depends on how much $$$$ you want to spend. Some basic mods are a lid, catback, headers, plug wires, filter, gears.... I could go on and on....

Since you just got your ride... go to www.LS1Tech.com and read all you ever wanted to know and not know about your car.

My car? Lets just say that NOTHING in the motor is stock

 

cool thank you again
