CAGS and reverse lockout plugs swapped!!!! A month ago i had my header/true dual setup installed by a local shop because i really didnt have the time to do it myself (mainly talking about the headers), and they completely screwed up everything imaginable.
Not long after going there i noticed it was hard as hell trying to get into reverse, but thought nothing of it since i was already having problems with my slave cylinder and possibly other clutch hydraulics.
Well this past saturday i was driving and i noticed for the first time that when the CAGS light came up on the dash, i was still able to go into 2nd gear with no problems.
So it hit me, those morons at the muffler shop swapped the CAGS and the reverse lockout plugs.
Im guessing this throws SES codes, right?
I cant tell right now because i have a million other codes going off with the emissions removed. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="gr_eek2.gif" />
Any damage to the tranny with forcing it into reverse for a while with the reverse-lockout solinoid plugged in?
also this is off-topic, but i have C5 sized rear tires on the back of my Z28, and i know that numerically lowers my gears/slows acceleration
but does it show lower numbers on the dyno too?
i went from a 25.6" to a 26.7" tire

Re: CAGS and reverse lockout plugs swapped!!!! yeah, im using slip-on .25" spacers
their crappy, but do the job
do you have the same 97-99 C5 rims as me? If so got any pics?
or are you using the 2000+ ?

Re: CAGS and reverse lockout plugs swapped!!!! I have no sopacers on mine, but they seem to sit too far in on the rears, I thought about getting some spacers, but never did. Not sure if I'm gonna keep the wheels though, might sell them. <img border="0" alt="[cheers]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_cheers.gif" />

Re: CAGS and reverse lockout plugs swapped!!!! i might change my rims out to
im either gonna sell the 18's, and run the 17's all around, or just sell them all and get something aftermarket
the damn ABS sensor is a pain, when you got taller tires in the rear <img border="0" title="" alt="[Mad]" src="gr_images/icons/mad.gif" />
