Has anyone installed the skip shift eliminator yet? - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Fat_Tire_Custom · 05-05-2009, 06:56 PM

I'm just wondering if anyone has installed the skip shift eliminator yet, which brands people have used, how easy they are to install, and if any problems have been encountered. Several sources are are available for Corvette/Camaro LS3, and all look basically the same from brand to brand. Mine was about $20 from Adaptive Performance. Directions sound simple. I'm hoping to have my dealer put the car on their lift and install it before I take my first drive. I'm paying for 6 speeds and want access to them ALL the time.

John Farnen · 05-05-2009, 07:17 PM

supposed to eliminate by itself over 1800 revs. Doubt I'll keep it under 1800 often. If you get it and it works well, please repost.

franknbeans · 05-05-2009, 07:18 PM

there's like what..... 7 people on the board with their car. . I'm guessing no.

I haven't heard anything yet, but from all the talk before about skipshift, oops I mean CAGS, that kit is the most expensive solution to this perceived problem. Older Camaros have had it blocked by a resistor that costs practically nothing and the majority of SS owners thus far haven't been driving mild enough to not activate it, or at least haven't admited to it

Embalmer · 05-07-2009, 03:19 PM

Nope.

Honestly, I've sort of gotten used to it..... :(

LosXC451 · 05-07-2009, 03:45 PM

If you really find it that annoying go ahead and do it, but IMO its a waste of money

call my crazy, but I DON'T think the dealer will do that, they may tell you "it will void your warranty" or some

like that.

mike@newera · 05-07-2009, 04:49 PM

You can have it shut off if you get your car custom tuned, I do it all the time.

If this is true then I really don't have anything to worry about. Can anyone confirm?

Legend · 05-07-2009, 05:12 PM

I've only activated it twice in almost 400 miles! Both times where pulling out of my street to the main road...

Shift at 2,000 rpms or more and you'll not notice it at all.

Emher · 05-07-2009, 05:55 PM

No need for me then, never shift that low on first gear anyways!

I dont think it will void your warranty, I have been to many dealerships in Miami and they sell them there

2SSRS · 06-15-2009, 06:17 PM

ZZcamaro · 06-15-2009, 07:11 PM

Got mine last week from ZZCAMARO, Love it !! Especially in traffic and city driving. Took about 10min to put the car on the ramps and plug it in. Call Mark he will hook you up.

I agree with Nexus, drive the damn thing like it was and is a muscle car . The skip shift won't kick in.

shevyman · 06-17-2009, 07:07 AM

ok so that is what its called. i have had like 5 cars in stick and this is the first were it made you skip shift. which in away doesnt feel right cause when it makes you go to fourth it lags which is bad for the enginebut **** it i just shift into third. Also what was the reason for people getting the 2ss? no smart ass remarks i know it comes with extras but i want to hear peoples reasons.

Ranger 75 · 06-17-2009, 07:18 AM

themossman · 06-17-2009, 08:20 AM

Can someone put links into this thread for the eliminator options?

it seems that it's starting to catch me everyone once and awhile to and it REALLY is beginning to make me angry. I like manuals for a reason...because I like to decide what gear the car should be in...

2SSRS · 06-17-2009, 10:38 AM

This is for you guys that can do it your self, This is from who i got mine from, Comes with paper instructions,

Good luck.

Sack Rat 2SS · 06-17-2009, 10:56 AM

Anyone doing a tune or tweek in the ECM can eliminate the skip shift by making a small software change at the same time.
