HOW TO install the CAGS eliminator on your C5
One method for installing !CAGS on your
C5 Corvette is here:
Installing the CAGS eliminator on your C5 Corvette will prevent the Corvette's computer from forcing you to shift from 1st gear to 4th gear during slow "pull-out" conditions.
First
acquire a CAGS eliminator. Mid America
sold me their assembly for around $20. There are 2 pieces: the smaller
piece which connects to the transmission and the larger piece which attaches
to the Corvette's wiring harness. The larger piece contains a resistor
which tells the Corvette's computer that the CAGS is working properly,
even though it is disabled.
Jack and support your C5 using my instructions. Identify
the driver's side of the transmission, from the rear of the Corvette.
Notice
that the smaller piece supplied by Mid America looks like the part already
connected to the transmission.
Insert
a flat blade screwdriver under the tab on the harness-side connector.
This tab is on the top of the connector. Be careful not to pry too
hard, as you may damage the tab.
Separate
the connectors.
Install
the smaller CAGS piece on the transmission connector.
Then,
connect the larger CAGS piece to the harness-side connector.
Finally,
use the supplied zip ties to attach the larger piece to an existing vehicle
harness.
