Product Description
Michigan Motorsports CAGS Skip Shift Eliminator
Fits 6-Speed Manual Applications | 1997-2019 Corvette, Camaro, Firebird, GTO, G8, Dodge Viper & Dodge Challenger
Take back control of your 6-speed manual transmission with this CAGS Skip Shift Eliminator. CAGS, also known as Computer Aided Gear Selection, is the factory skip-shift system that can force a 1st-to-4th gear shift during light throttle, low-speed driving. This plug-and-play bypass harness installs inline at the transmission harness to disable the skip-shift lockout, allowing you to shift into the gear you want instead of being forced into 4th. Built with quality wiring, OEM-style connectors, original hardware, and a sealed resistor in OE heat shrink, this compact eliminator is an easy upgrade for Corvette, Camaro, Firebird, GTO, G8, Dodge Viper, and Dodge Challenger manual transmission applications.
Key Features & Benefits
- Disables the Factory Skip-Shift Lockout: This CAGS eliminator helps stop the annoying 1st-to-4th gear lockout that can occur during light throttle driving. Instead of being forced into 4th gear, you can shift normally into the gear you want for better control and a more enjoyable manual driving experience.
- 100% Plug-and-Play Installation: The harness plugs inline with the vehicle harness at the transmission, making installation quick and simple. Unplug the connector from the CAGS solenoid, plug this eliminator into the vehicle harness, and the bypass is ready to go without cutting or splicing factory wiring.
- Built for 6-Speed Manual Transmissions: Designed for manual transmission applications equipped with the CAGS skip-shift solenoid. This is a practical upgrade for performance drivers, street cars, and manual transmission enthusiasts who want full control over gear selection.
- Quality Wiring & OEM-Style Hardware: Manufactured using quality wiring, OEM-style connectors, and original-style hardware for a clean, reliable connection. The resistor is sealed in OE heat shrink to help protect the circuit and provide long-term durability in harsh under-vehicle conditions.
- No SES Light When Installed Properly: This bypass is designed to disable the skip-shift feature without causing a Service Engine Soon light. The factory CAGS indicator light may still illuminate when the computer determines skip shift would normally be active, but the shifter lockout will be bypassed.
What Is CAGS?
CAGS stands for Computer Aided Gear Selection. It is a factory fuel economy feature that activates a solenoid behind the shifter, preventing the transmission from being shifted into 2nd or 3rd gear under certain low-speed, light-throttle conditions. When active, it forces the driver from 1st gear into 4th gear.
When Does CAGS Engage?
- Coolant temperature reaches approximately 169 degrees.
- Vehicle speed is approximately 15-19 mph.
- Throttle position is approximately 21% or less.
