Absolutely the best mod for the cheapest price ever. :woohoo:

No way does this void any warranty ... the 1 - 4 is ONLY there to meet government mandated mileage standards - (f*^#ing worthless reg). Anyone, I mean ANYONE that puts a skip shift in will FEEL the difference right away. :D The 1 - 4 is a total BS add on that is NOT designed into ANY part of the engineering of a manual transmission. :smash:

The CAGS eliminator was the first modification I did to my car. I would not be without it. My wife did not like the CAGS either.

I drive in major east coast traffic a lot, and I rarely encounter this, and when it does pop up I either accelerate through it or just coast down. Besides, I figure if I did shift into 4th, which I have never done from 1st, then what's the difference? If I am going that slow, with that little throttle, how could it make a difference? If more acceleration was needed then it wouldn't pop up in the first place. It also seems very hard to force itinto the wrong gear. Under the gentle driving conditions when it does come up I am not jamming the shifter around anyway.

I installed the CAGS after one year of driving my 2010 Vette. I wanted to see if it was really worth it. Before the install I simply wound it out a bit more in 1st in order to avoid the skip shift; it was not a huge deal but there were times when it was annoying, so after a year's trial without CAGS I installed it, and my life will never be the same (j/k). I'm glad I did it.

I have had it happen maybe 10 times in the few months I have been driving my Vette.....there is so much torque that I just put it in 3rd gear.

The other thing I have done and did it in my M6 GTO was Move the shifter to the right and back to the left and it will go in to 2nd gear.

Unquestionably installing the CAGS Eliminator is a must do mod.

When I pull back on the shifter, I know 2nd gear is where I'm going to end up.

my 09 is the same way...earlier yrs the skip shift was a lot more intrusive...gm 6 speeds from 96-till 06 that i owned , i definitely did the eliminate...

CAGS eliminator was my first mod... that 1-4 skip shift is annoying. :thumbs:

The skip-shift feature was defeated in my car via tuning when I replaced the engine. It was annoying when it engaged but for the year I drove the car in its stock configuration the skip-shift feature only engaged 2 or 3 times. Everyone has their own 'style' of driving but I think you're driving the car too conservatively. I'd recommend getting rid of the skip-shift feature but IMO with 'normal' driving it rarely, if ever, engages.

For those that have done the fuse, is it in the same place for all years? What is the code in the fuse box?

Been using the blown fuse for 4 years, no CEL at all and I grin each time I see 1-4 light up and I shift to 2nd!

If you drive the car right you do not need that gizmo.

I have had 1 97 SS Camaro (had it put on by dealer before the car left the lot as I had read it was needed)

Since then bough 3 Vettes 98 05 07 and found it was not needed.

I did this too, works like a charm on mine. It will still show the "1 - 4" yellow light on the dash, but will shift to 2nd.

Why would you want to have to go to all of that trouble ?

I often wonder if those who go to all of that trouble to manipulate throttle angle (or the shifter) even know how to install the CAGS eliminator?

For $3 or $25, why wouldn't you want to give yourself the ability to decide which gear and throttle angle you want ?

Put some RPMs on each gear change and you don't need to worry about no skip shift eliminator. I thought that's how the vette was meant to be driven.

That is alot of trouble to you? Good lord.....for the FEW times it happens it is not a big deal. I CAN decide, for that 1 second extra of shift time you think it really matters? At that speed you are not racing so the amount of time lost means nothing. The other thing is that I can notice the light come on (even while watching the road) and give a little more gas and guess what home slice? I can shift in to 2nd. :)

Its not THAT critical/important to me to have the CAGS eliminator at this time and it may never be. My GTO I never put one in and my 94 Vette was bypassed. I can install one just fine thank you very much.

I have swapped engines, transmissions, rear ends, tore down engines....etc so I am sure that wouldnt be much of a task. I love how you imply that because people havent done it that they cant. :crazy2:

I have to say that part of me agrees with this but the other part sees the Corvette like a fine looking/performing woman. Yes, its great to go out and take the corners hard, hit top speed in every gear, hear the roar of the engine and make her scream but if you do it every day and every time you will ruin it. :) Sometimes its best to just sit back and enjoy the ride and even if she doesnt have "heads up display" you can look down and play with the buttons.

:iagree:

I have had 4 corvettes with CAGS (1998,2001,2005,2008), in all the time with those cars, I have had a CAGS intrusion maybe 10 times. I am no hotrod, in my experience, you have to drive the car unbelievably SLOW to get CAGS involved. There again, there are guys on here that get 30,000 miles out of Goodyear runflats....I've never made 20,000!

My dealer installed it for me at the same time they installed the Borla exhaust.
The 1-4 skip shift drives me nuts.
I had the same issue with my '98 Firebird Formula.

with the mz6 trans in my 09 c6, 1st gear is a 2:97..you will seldom hit the skip shift under normal driving...my older vettes it was intrusive..but not on the newer models with the MZ6 trans...its only from 1st to 2nd.. the skip shift does not interfer with any other gear changes...i find there are few mods that i'm gonna do, other than tires...that seems to make the most performance bang for my buck.....
