That 2nd and 3rd are locked out and you should only have 4th gear available (never tried 5th or 6th).Since we are on topic, I don't have the SSE Kit, I've only seen my 1-4 code display one time. What exactly does it mean when it displays?
What a hassle, I'm going to look into getting one. The 1-4 has only happened once to me, but I don't want it to distract with normal driving.The 1-4 display is an indicator that shifting first to second is disabled -- forcing you to shift from first to fourth.
"The skip shift functions by a lockout on the second gear gate. So if you're shifting out of first gear under a very specific set of conditions (throttle, engine, rpm), the lockout is activated by a solenoid, forcing the gearstick to go into fourth gear gate instead of second gear."
It's very annoying when you're pulling into traffic where staying in first is unreasonable, but fourth is also unreasonable because of speed conditions of the roadway. I have the eliminator installed because there are a lot of times I need second, not fourth, and first will spin me (or dog me down from slippage).
The 1-4 will continue to display as that's the computer acting based on the condition and the eliminator acts only at the solenoid wiring.![]()
Should not be an issue - if you have the correct value (otherwise it will trip the MIL and store a code), all the SSE is doing is presenting the resistive load in the circuit the PCM expects, but the solenoid is disabled. It appears the value changed for 2010 models from how it was for 2009s. If the value isn't right it would set MIL. If the value is correct, you won't notice any change, except the skip-shift function is gone.Does installing the SSE have any warranty implications?
I just move my hand towards 4th then push it right back up into 3rd...When I feel my transmission "forcing me" from 1st into 4th gear, i just do a quick double clutch , and it goes into 2nd- no problem.
Only second is locked out. 3rd is still available, or at least that is how it is in Camaros and Vettes which have the same transmissionThat 2nd and 3rd are locked out and you should only have 4th gear available (never tried 5th or 6th).
On the rare occation I've had the skip trigger, I go to third, but you do kinda have to "jiggle" it a little before it will go to third. But the way I drive, it's only triggered a few times (ya gotta push that pedal down!:thumbsupOnly second is locked out. 3rd is still available, or at least that is how it is in Camaros and Vettes which have the same transmission
You either need to order a skip shift eliminator which you literally plug into your transmission, or buy a Predator DiabloSport tuner and remove the 1-4 shift that way.... and there's no way to disable this thing through EVIC? Or even have the dealer do it?
Good to know, I'm planning on buying one of those tuners, but they're still not out for the 2011s yet are they?You either need to order a skip shift eliminator which you literally plug into your transmission, or buy a Predator DiabloSport tuner and remove the 1-4 shift that way.
I don't think they make them for the 2011 yet. Hey did you finally get your car? LOLGood to know, I'm planning on buying one of those tuners, but they're still not out for the 2011s yet are they?
NopeI don't think they make them for the 2011 yet. Hey did you finally get your car? LOL
I hear ya man. The wait must be crazy, I have no patience for things like this. Sounds like you are making some good choices with parts. Are you thinking of not using your Classic wheels? I think they really set the car off. They aren't cragers but they look like them.Nope
Apparently it's getting the air dam & stripes at the moment.
Probably still looking at 3 weeks before it shows up.
Bleargh.
I'm running round in circles and asking stupid questions about which wheels to get right now.
My experiences suggest 3rd is unavailable as well. I rarely use 2nd in city driving and got locked out of 3rd plenty of times.Only second is locked out. 3rd is still available, or at least that is how it is in Camaros and Vettes which have the same transmission
