**** skip
So i hope to pick up my 2002 z28 Monday and i have done a lot of reading about the car. One thing that i have read and i have questions about is this shift skip thing. How does this work what does this do. So far I don’t like it.

RE: **** skip
The skip shift was supposably put in the car to better the mileage ratings and avoid a gass guzzeler tax? <so Iv'e been told> What happens is under a certain percentage of throttle it will lock out 2nd gear, and you have to shift into 3rd and it will drive you crazy because you'r lugging badly. Only time I have had this happen to me is at a stoplight with cars in front of me, light turns green, you take off in 1st you go to shift into 2nd to let the rpm come down a little and you have no where to go anyway, and no 2nd, go to 3rd, now you'r going about 30 miles an hour in third gear, only way around it is let it wind out more in first. You will figure it out pretty quick when you start driving it, what rpm or mph it will happen, and it's ALWAYS under light throttle conditions, It won't happen that often, but when it does the first couple times you will be like what the heck is going on <and there is a light that comes on in the insturment panel> I would drive it for a while if it bothers you, there is a module that you can buy that plugs into the harness to the transmission, to eliminate this all together, it costs about $50.00, and sound like the longest part of the install would be getting under the car! I have seen a couple companies selling them, but can't remember who right of had, might check slponline.com. hope this helps some!

That is what I do.

Why not just get the skip shift eliminator kit or better yet go to Radio shack and get a $.20 resistor and plug it in. Check out www.installuniversity.com for more info. Even better here is a direct link to the page.
