skip shift question
skip shift question i have a 93 6spd and i was wondering if my car has the 1st to fourth shift.. but i dont think i understand how this works.... if anyone could explain this i would appreciate it
thanks
thanks
it explains it pretty well in the car manual but it basically forces you to shift from first to fourth during certain situations. For example it'll come on for me if i go from a stop and take off very slowly it'll light up forcing me to shift to fourth unless i speed up. I know others can explain it more in depth and the exact times it comes on but i hope this helps some what.

The skip shift just locks out 2nd and 3rd gear. All you have to do is let the engine rev beyond 4,500-5,000rpm and the skip shift will disengage and you can shift to 2nd. The skip shift eliminator is only $30 and is very easy to install (it just plugs in to the wire running along the right side of the tranny). If you don't see the light then you don't have skip shift.
To satisfy the gov't mileage requirements. I think without it the M6 F-bodies would have had the gas guzzler tax. Actually it was pretty clever on GM's part because they made it real easy to defeat.
That must be a typo. I can circumvent it by running the car to 2500 rpms, there is no need to run it as high as you are.

to stop it from forcing you into 4th the solenoid disable cable works but if you want the light to stop coming on and the code to keep coming back you have to have it disabled with a tune
first of all you just have to go over 2,500 rpms for the skip shift to turn off..... i just go to 2,600 basicly and it turns off and i shift inot 2nd! come on guys get with it lol

its a good thing not to have it. i bought the thing off ebay to get rid of it just havent gotten around to installing it. if your going too slow it wont let you shift into 2nd before 2500 rpms. it sucks. it doesnt sound that bad but it is.
