The skip shift eliminator will allow to shift however you want. The reason GM Put it in to begin with is to help with gas mileage (so we didn't have to pay some sort of gas guzzler tax).

okay let me get this straight, i ordered an 1ss Camaro manual, so from the factory this already has the skip shift eliminator, or what? or is this an option to buy aftermarket, from the factory this will force me to shift to fourth gear if im in first gear, this skip shift eliminator will allow me to shift to whatever gear i want, is htat correct, and at anytime??

Here is a little history: 1996 saw minor mechanical revisions, as well as small power gains from the new OBD II-compliant engine controls. All base model Camaros were now equipped with the 3800 series II. V8 models still came with the 5.7L LT1 engine. The dual catalytic converters required by OBD-II resulted in lower restriction and a mild power boost to 285 hp (213 kW) and 325 lb·ft (441 N·m) of torque. Two option packages also returned: the RS (last seen in 1992), an appearance option for the V6 model, and the SS (last seen in 1972), a performance and appearance package for V8-powered cars. The SS cars, which were modified by Street Legal Performance (SLP) through contract with GM, were the highest factory performance Camaros offered at the time and included a functioning hood scoop and new five-spoke 17 in (43 cm) x 9 in (23 cm) wheels. The new wheel and tire package on the SS resulted in better handling and braking compared to the Z28. Also available this year for the V6 model was the Y87 package, which included a Zexel-Torsen LSD, better tires, dual exhaust tips, 4 wheel disk brakes, and a sportier steering ratio. Crowley
