Ok, I have read reams on here about the factory 1st to 4th shift but it never applied to me until a couple of weeks ago when I got a '13 LS3. I have read the owners manual and it is somewhat confusing as to when the parameters are met for the 1 - 4 shift to activate. I always assumed it would not lock you out of 2nd unless you were really cranking it in first but my car seems to do it randomly and at very low speeds at times. Many times if I actually shifted into 4th I would be lugging the engine. I plan to get the skip shift eliminator very soon but also wanted to ask is my car acting normally? Is this the way the 1st to 4th shift was meant to operate from the factory?

Thanks,

Cady
