Guest ravedave Posted January 5, 2003 Report Share Posted January 5, 2003 i'm curious. How exactlly does a stock M6 LS-1 work. Do you have to go from 1st to 4th? How do you fix this so you can use all the gears? Is there another way other than buying that skip-shift eliminator? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bigjoe6902 Posted January 5, 2003 Report Share Posted January 5, 2003 if your talking about the skip shift thing which i think u are, i had that on my 94 transam, jegs sells the elimintator for like 30 bucks, it takes bout minute to install, get under car, plug it in. and then u can go from one to second with out prob, the light will still come on but it wont do that ennoying thing anymore Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIG SHAFE Posted January 5, 2003 Report Share Posted January 5, 2003 There is a solenid which is activated by the rpm's. I'm not sure what the range is, but you can short shift it early or wind out the gear longer to defeat the skip shift. The guys that actually have one can explain better.

Guest ravedave Posted January 5, 2003 Report Share Posted January 5, 2003 well i don't have one yet but i plan on buyin 1 in the next couple years. So best bet is probably to just goto jegs and buy that skip shift eliminator. right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIG SHAFE Posted January 5, 2003 Report Share Posted January 5, 2003 Ya if you plan on making it a daily driver/fast car, not just a go fast car. The skip shift mechanism will hinder/get in the way in normal driving. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bigjoe6902 Posted January 5, 2003 Report Share Posted January 5, 2003 i will admit, it should be your first mod, i hated it, i guess its suppose to help get better gas milage but it just gives u no power what so ever, ya, if u race or just hit a ceratin rpm, i forget which, cause i did it right when i got my car and i dont even have that car anymore, the skip shift goes away and still lets u go to second. in the jegs catalog, in the lt1 section, its in there, down at bottom, thats all u need.

GRN96WS6 Posted January 5, 2003 Report Share Posted January 5, 2003 Or you could go the el cheapo route and get a 1K ohm resistor (I believe) and put it in there which would cost like 5 cents instead of $30. Also mine is not eliminated and hardly ever works....I dont think most of them do, and how many guys who drive these keep them below 2500 anyway?

SamZman Posted January 5, 2003 Report Share Posted January 5, 2003 Or the even cheaper way and have someone with Tunercat de-program the skip shift. It's a little annoying at times but not a big deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ravedave Posted January 5, 2003 Report Share Posted January 5, 2003 so it only does that at under 2500? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest stevil Posted January 6, 2003 Report Share Posted January 6, 2003 I thought I heard of people cutting a notch in some plastic or something, to get rid of the skip shift? In any case, it's fairly easy to get rid of, and it may already be disabled by a previous owner. smile.gif Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
