lift up the car... driver side middle of the transmission.. see the plug, unplug it, run it into the skip shift module and depending on what kind u got, either leave it or plug it back in.. you will know and take a zip tie and tie it out of the way...

This may be a stupid question but what does the skip shift do?

I see the light come on and I just shift from 1st to 3rd. Does it do something electronically to the engine or transmission that I don't know about?

it blocks out 2nd gear and i think 3rd, electro-magnetically to help gas mileage. GM pu it in the T56 to guve the M6 f-body better gas mileage so it wouldnt be hit with the gas guzzler tax.
