Skip Shift Eliminator
Has anyone installed the skip shift eliminator? Will it void the warranty?

Convenience. Lots of folks have installed it themselves. There's a link somewhere on C5 that shows exactly how to do it. Search around for it.

It should not void your warranty but if you want piece of mind then you could always remove it before you went to the dealer since it's a simple plug and play install.

Easy mod to install. The only time I'd worry about uninstalling it is if you're going in for warranty work for a transmission issue.
Get one on EBay for about $12 shipped.

Yeah I think on the SS models have it to avoid the Gas Guzzler Tax. The V6 doesn't have that issue so no need to implement it.

Just a note: The $12 skip shift eliminator will remove the interference of your shifting, but the DIC will continue to annoy you with the message. No big deal.

Does the one from APEX remove the message from the DIC? Just curious.

No, you would need to reprogram the ECU (and lose your warranty). Instead, the $12 device simply fools the ECU into thinking it did it's job in locking out the 2nd and 3rd gears. It never actually actually fires the solenoid, and the DIC has no idea.

I'm having the dealer install it on my SS (LS3) before I take delivery. I had read about it on the forum, and encountered it on my test drive. Instantly I said, "THAT HAS TO GO!"
