"Skip Shift" elimination in 1993

I want to eliminate the 1st to 4th "Skip Shift" in my 1993 six speed. Does
anyone have experiance with this? Will it scew up anything else? Thanks

I have a '92 6-speed. It is trivial to do. Jack up the left side of
the car and unplug the skip-shift connector from the transmission.
The "1-4" light will still come on, but it won't affect the driveability
or anything else.

Yes, easy change, all you need is a 2.2k-Ohm 1/2 watt 5% resistor,
Radio Shack number 271-1171, .99 cents for 5, and plug it into the
lead to your transmission, done.

Many sites on the net have picture instructions on how to install it.

The '93 is OBD-2. He can disconnect the skip-shift without worrying
about any codes being set. It's around '95 and later that GM switched
to OBD-3 and you need the resistor.

Now you're one up on me, I was under the impression there is an OBDI
and then OBDII, 1/1/1996, but the OBDIII is still in the development
stages. Some vehicles were changed over to OBDII as early as 1994,
Corvette was one of them. Ether way you need to at the very least seal
the wire contacts to prevent a corroded mess that can't be re-attached
if needed. My uninformed guess would be that the 1993 is an OBDI
system but would react as you suggest as I've never done one and would
have given the computer the resistance needed to fool it all the time.

Back in 1997 I saw allot of lip flapping about OBDIII but most were
still talking about when it would happen even in 2005. Even
http://obdiii.net/ , home of OBDI and OBDI is still under
construction. Kalifornicate is the state that is pushing for it so
they can read your vin number and your misfire codes while in traffic
and send you a citation.

I have NO clue as to what my 95 has...OBD 1 2 or 3 who knows...
BUT I do know I unhooked my 1st to 4th shift "plug" about 2 days
after I purchased the car 10 years ago.... NO Light, NO fuss..and NO
problems with the Emission Police...

Just unplug the connector at the side of the tranny.....
There are two there, if you get the wrong one the reverse lights won't work.
Just Pull one and check reverse lights. :-)
No need for a resistor. Just unplug and put some tape over the end for dirt.

Naaa I just yanked mine, been fine for 12 years. :-)

And it's a much more solid car than say...... a C5.

Acckk. You're right, I got a bit confused there on the OBD numbers...
