1997-2019 C5-C7 CAGS Skip Shift Bypass

Take Back Control of Your Shifting
The CAGS Skip Shift Bypass eliminates the frustrating 1st-to-4th forced shift found in all 1997–2019 Manual Transmission Corvettes equipped with the GM Computer Aided Gear Selection (CAGS) system. This weather-sealed bypass harness plugs into the transmission-side connector to disable CAGS while preventing DTCs or warning lights. No tools, no cutting—just clean plug-and-play functionality using genuine Packard connectors for proper fit and long-term durability.

Installation is simple: Disconnect the battery, raise the vehicle, unplug the gray CAGS connector on the driver’s side of the transmission or transaxle, and plug in the blue end of the bypass harness. Secure the unused end away from exhaust heat, lower the car, and reconnect the battery. Your Corvette is now free to shift on your terms—no programming, no codes, no compromises.

Features
• Fits 1997–2004 C5, 2005–2013 C6, and 2014–2019 C7
• For manual transmission models only
• Eliminates forced 1st-to-4th gear shift under low-load acceleration
• Genuine weather-sealed Packard connectors
• Prevents diagnostic trouble codes and dash warning lights
• Installs in minutes—no splicing, tools, or programming required
• Reversible design allows easy factory reactivation
• Compatible with mushroom-style transmission connector only
• Full printed instructions included

Tech Notes
• GM used two connector styles for CAGS: oval and mushroom
• This bypass is compatible only with mushroom-shaped connectors
• Visually inspect your connector style before ordering

Because Details Matter
This plug-in harness solves one of the most hated quirks of modern manual Corvettes. From the C5 through the final front-engine C7, reclaim the full 6-speed experience without wiring damage, warning lights, or gear lockouts. Simple. Reliable. Reversible.
