SKip shift Eliminator dead? Saw the SLP eliminator and liked the idea of just pluggin this resistor in, but it did nothing. It's properly installed and will not work. I still have to go 1-4. Am I doing something wrong or missing anything? I even disconnected the battery for a little while to see if that would work.

hmmm....does it make you? or are you just used to shifting to 4th? cause the light will stop come up on the dash, but the solendoid that stops you from going to second stops working. did you install it right? and make sure everything was tight?

Yeah, everything was installed correctly as per instructions. The light still comes on and the solenoid still makes me go to fourth instead of second. I'm as baffled as you.

Weirdnes....do the radioshack thing, it worked for me no problem. Although, right now it's not even neccessary since my car got tuned after the cam installed and that thing was edited out.

Sounds like you put the plug in the wrong solenoid, there are 2 under there one for the cags and one for the reverse.
Even if you didn't put anything in there the solenoid wouldn't operate, as it would have no power (although you'd have a service vehicle light on)
Recheck the installation, look on install university for some instructions (with pics) that are better than the SLP ones

That makes some sense. Because when I had it unplugged, it still worked and the light never came on. I'm new to the Ls1 world so could you explain what cags are?

CAGS...Computer Aided Gear Shift I believe is the correct wording. Basically an EPA gas mileage thing. In an effort to make the car more fuel efficient when the gas pedal is depressed less than 25% and you shift out of first it forces you into 4th. I RARELY have this come on on my car. I thought it quit working all together but I did a short shift one day and it did force me to 4th. I'm ususally on it hard from a stop so it never bothers me.

Well following what you said and with the help of install university it works now. I read the SLP instructions again to see where I might have misread it but looks like the instuctions are actually wrong. Also the part is alot different from what I've seen in pictures on the net and the paper they gave me. Weird.
Well since I first did this like a few months ago and just now rectifiing the problem I forgot where the other plug goes into. Any thoughts? Everything seems to work, but maybe it is the reverse lock out as someone had mentioned? Either way thanks guys for your help!

Buy some resistors at Radioshack for like 99 cents, shove it in the plug, tape it up, same thing as the eliminators you can buy, just not as pretty. They have an article on it on install unversity.
