I don't know if it's a Eliminator 8001, but I do have a skip shift eliminator installed I bought from Apex. Had the dealer put it on for me since the car was in the shop for several mods.
Works like a champ. |

Keep in mind that the 'skip shift' only comes into play if you are accelerating very gently from a stop light.
Even if you have the eliminator installed, you will still see the indicator appear in the DIC under those same conditions. I think in the last 3,000 miles or so I've only had the skip shift display maybe 4 times. Just accelerate just a wee bit more, or hold it in 1st just a little bit longer, and you'd never run into the skip shift issue again. |

It's to save on fuel. If you are at low RPM's in first gear, and attempt to upshift to second, the car figures your not in a hurry, and in an effort to use less gas, it locks out second, so as your pulling down on the shifter, it slips instead into fourth. Which, at low RPM's, the car barely has the power to turn the gears. It shutters a little, and generally gives you no power whatsoever. On the rare occasions this has ever happened to me, it is automatically followed up with a downshift to third. Not exactly what it was designed for, I'm sure.
Like HDRDTD Said, if you drive it right (knowing what NOT to do..) You really dont ever get this to kick in.

The skip shift eliminator is a simple length of wire (with secret stuff inside) and a connector at either end.
The skip shift cable unhooks from the top of the transmission, the skip shift eliminator cable is then connected between that cable and the trans. That's it. |
