What is skip shift?
Forgive me for my ignorance, but what is skip shift? While looking through websites I found this skip shift eliminator. Is this for the 6 speed manual or automatic?

Thanks,

Thanks for the explanation. That sounds lame, to conserve fuel? Well, that will never happen.

dont quote me on that my camaro didnt have skipshift as it was a V6 but im like 99% sure thats what it is
edit: i just read that it forces 1st to 4th to prevent you from having to pay the gas guzzlers tax

Yep, it's a solenoid buried within the manual transmission that when activated, forces a 1st -> 4th shift. It only happens with a light acceleration and when shifting in a certain speed window.
Some get by it with fast starts/shifting early. Others use a resistor in the line (or the eliminator you found).
I had mine tuned out. It's a pain in the butt.

What is skipshift.
I had it in my 98 Z. It will not allow a shift to 2d from 1st at certain RPMs. For the problem on my 98, I bought a CAGS plug in for around $30 bucks then. I now own a L99 and don't have to worry about it.
