there is a solenoid you can buy at radio shack, i did it and it works, cant beat .98 cents for a mod. Just search CAGS and you'll find a write up somewhere.

If you still need one give me a call. We have boxes of them. You don't really need it. I would just find a plug that matches the thread pitch and plug the hole.

If your car doesnt do anything when the light comes on then someone has put a skipshift delete harness in your car. Originally it will force you to shift into 4th gear instead of 2nd at low speeds. It is a fuel economy deal. And a complete pain in the rear.

That's what I did. I haven't had a CAGS solenoid for years, no reason to waste money on it.

Shifting from 1st to 4th will wear the clutch a little more, but other than that I can't see any other problems.
