Sometimes the screen will flash the 1-4 message but you likely accelerated enough to bypass the "lock out".
Happens to me frequently. Majority of the time I'm locked out. BTW I don't use the skip shift eliminator. I've learned to swiftly move it over as if going to 4th but then go right to 2nd and you're not locked out. Also, jumping to 3rd instead of 4th is very easy and you don't bog.
