CAGS

CAGS stands for Computer Aided Gear Selection. This was factory installed on all 6 speed transmission Camaros sold from 1994 on, and is still installed in many manual transmission GM vehicles. CAGS allowed for fuel savings on 6 speed vehicles by allowing the driver to shift from first directly to fourth gear, which was enabled between 1500 and 2500RPMs while in first gear. A solenoid was activated, which locked out 2nd and 3rd gears, and allowed a smooth transition from 1st directly to 4th gear.

Many drivers, especially enthusiasts, found the feature to be annoying at best and quickly located and discovered a means to easily disable this feature by disconnecting the harness that enables the computer aided gear selection. On 94/95 models, this is all that is necessary. On other models, a small resistor is (2000 Ohm) is needed to prevent the SES light from turning on.

Skip Shift Eliminator kits were also created to allow for a "plug and play" bypass of CAGS rather than having to go find the correct resistor and wire it in without instruction.
