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.
