1st to 4th

[tqracr]

My tire guy in Brighton has an 07 6 speed and he says it goes from 1st to 4th gear if you take it easy.Can this be removed?

You can buy a fuse that replaces the number 10 fuse, I believe, in the fuse panel in the engine compartment on the passenger side of the C6. You have to be pretty light on the throttle for it to force a 1-4 shift. I drove our 2005 for a month or so and it only forced the 1-4 shift a couple of times and I'm not an aggressive driver. For 2004 and earlier there is this unit. 1997-2004 Chevrolet Corvette Skip Shift Eliminator on eBay!

I think if you shift below 2200 , and there is a light on the dash, it goes to 4th and let it go do not force it to 2nd. I think I have a fuse if he is looking for one.

You can get the Skip Shift Eliminator from Corvette central . I have one on my 2011 C6
Takes five minutes to install at the side of the transmission. No more forced shifts !

I much prefer the fuse method. No climbing under the car to install it. Less than 5 minutes to do it.

 

[Keith Tedford]

I used the fuse and everything works fine. If I wanted the car to tell me when and how to shift, I would have bought an automatic.

 

[Crusher]

Easy now , I have an auto with paddle shift...

 

[Keith Tedford]

Nothing wrong with an automatic. The stick shift is just our personal preference.
If I were going racing, it would definitely be automatic.

 

[Crusher]

Just playing with you Keith...lol

Stick does give you that total control which is awesome

Stick shift keeps you humble. Show off and you are bound to miss a shift looking like an idiot to everyone. Brings a person right back down to earth.

That is so true...
At our Corvette show, the dealership is right by the highway on-ramp..A mid sixties big-block 4-speed Biscayne stopped by for a visit..upon leaving the show he went onto the on-ramp and proceeded to drastically miss 3rd gear! No rev limiter in the car either! The whole car show heard it overrev badly!!
yikes. ....graham

Hahahaha! Sort of like the guys that peel out of shows but end up on a curb or completing a loop. Nothing makes you feel like more of an idiot. That is something I hope to never do....

I have the cags eliminator on my tranny and can go up to any rpm I want before going into second, But when I ordered the eliminator from CC they said that it would also stopping the 1 to 4 sign appearing on the dash. That part has not been eliminated. haven't complained to them about their misleading claim yet though. Does anyone else have the gauge sign still appear with the eliminator from CC?

 

[Steamer]

In their latest catalog they've corrected the mistake. All that happens is you've disconnected the solenoid but the electronics still go through the motions and you still get the light. It's also available for the C6 as well.

I always disable the 1-4 skip shift & turn off the 1-4 shift light when I tune the 6 speed manual
cars using Hp Tuners.

:agree: Russ turned off my light for me and set my fan speeds so my car would turn on both fans at 190. Ever since then, I haven't seen temps on my car over 200 and haven't had the light telling me when to shift (before I saw temps of 220 degrees ). However, I still skip shift 1-4 but more often 1-3, however, it's nice being able to choose for myself instead of the computer telling me how to drive my car.

 

[Russ K]

Actually, your low speed fans are set to come on at 200*F and off at 195*F. Your high speed fans are on at 205*F and off at 196*F.

I would of set them lower if you had a 160*F stat.

Hahaha! Awesome! Thanks for the correction Russ! I was just testing to see if you could remember.



That should teach me for thinking that I know what I am talking about!
