does it cause 4th gear synchros to fail prematurely? just wondering.

never heard of it causing that

4/23/2006 8:04:12 PM

cheap fix, $29 or sometihng

4/23/2006 9:01:32 PM

< $1.00 to remove it with a resistor from radioshack

i understand that. if i had a vehicle equipped with it, I'd disable it.

I'm just wondering about all of the people who DON'T disable it because they don't know any better (or actually prefer having it for some weird reason).

the viper has that crap too, pissed me off

4/23/2006 10:07:33 PM

I never disabled it on my corvette and never had a problem.

4/23/2006 10:42:16 PM

Why would it cause a synchro problem?

4/23/2006 11:10:00 PM

i havent gotten around to killin that shit yet, but its annoying as hell. Never heard of it causing trouble though...

hahahahahahaha


if a person still has skip shift on their sports car they don't deserve to make fun of any other sports car ever.

i'm sure skip shift would be the shit on a road course

it never kicks in unless youre dragin ass, which i dont do, so its not really an issue less someone in front of you is dragging ass...

They put it in to get the vette the fuel economy they wanted, also why they made it fuckin easy to disable...

4/24/2006 12:13:37 AM

i heard it was an epa thing but either way it makes since

4/24/2006 12:17:39 AM

^yeah, kept it out of the gass guzzler tax deal or something....Im sure it helps but i didnt get a vette for its fuel economy...

4/24/2006 12:19:37 AM

a 1-4 skip shift? the mere thought makes me cringe. fuck a resistor, they should have a button on the center console to disable something that horrible

4/24/2006 1:59:08 AM

haha, dude, i forget about it for a while, then it hits me in traffic and i cuss it like mad...

I really need to get around to fixing it...

4/24/2006 2:01:58 AM

i wouldn't think it would be a big issue for synchros because it's not like it goes right into 4th gear after you redline 1st

4/25/2006 2:31:08 AM

true, it's only at low throttle...but that's still a huge gap in gear ratios. lot of work for the synchro to do.
