Default question about the skip shift!

I just got my 02 m6 and hate the 2nd gear skip shift. What are the rpm, and/or speed points that the skip shift will be engaged. Also what kind of skip shift kits are avaiable, and are they worth the money. Any information on this subject will be most helpful. Thanks in advance.

use a 2.2K resistor, and you can bypass it easily, but even the $20 plug in version are worth it.

the skip shift "feature" is a pita, but EASY to defeat.

skip shift happens between 15-20mph and less then 25% of the throttle used

How To
This should help.

I read your profile. Do you live in VA? If so think you can get me a computer job. I graduate ECPI in 4 months. I will have an ASA major in Internet Development/programming.

I try to conserve my gas when I am not running her hard. I dont want to run this car into the ground so I am being responsible with my driving. hahaha I cant believe I said that, man I feel like I am getting old.

onehardmaro:

Hey man, I live in Winchester Virginia. First off, thanks for the How To link, very helpful. I recently graduated, and have had a hellofa time finding an IT job. The job market is saturated with recent grads, and techincal school students. My job that I have is with a very, and I mean very small IT consulting firm. As for helping you get a job, sorry bud no can do. But I can suggest places to look: VA state job website http://jobs.state.va.us contains all state run agencies and their open positions. Other than that... the Post, monster, and hot jobs are all I can suggest. Mine kinda fell into my lap, and I am very lucky to get a job that pays this good and I dont have to go far. Sorry and I hope the little bit of info helps.
