Tim240z Posted February 17, 2004 Share Posted February 17, 2004 I know all that is needed is a resistor to mimick the solenoid. Does anyone know the resistor value. I have a bag full of resistors left over from the MegaSquirt build and hate to have to buy a skip shift eliminator if it's as simple as a resistor? Anyone?

Mike kZ Posted February 17, 2004 Share Posted February 17, 2004 You aren't asking for your Z car right? 'cause you don't have to worry about it for the Z. But for a Camero or Firebird that resistor should work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim240z Posted February 17, 2004 Author Share Posted February 17, 2004 Mike, I have completely eliminated the solenoid from the T56 in the 240Z, but I'm wondering if it's pissing off the PCM? I've found the car surging when shifting to 2nd, and it doesn't clear up for 30 seconds or so...almost like it's running low on fuel. But then it clears up and pulls like a freight train!! I also have a 94 Z28 and that skip shift really gets annoying!!! It forces me to RPM it from 1st to 2nd!! Oh well....I do it anyways!!! But the Mongoose's surging is a bit annoying. I just want to eliminate the CAGS as a possibility. IT has all new plugs and MSD 8.5mm wires. I hope it's not the opti!! Although I doubt it as it clears up nicely and then pulls hard under load! I can break the tires loose at will, in any gear up to 5th!! Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike kZ Posted February 17, 2004 Share Posted February 17, 2004 Tim, I forgot you have an LT1 in the Z. I guess you don't have an aftermarket wiring harness, so a resistor connected at the skip shift should eliminate any ecm error. It couldn't hurt to try.

Tim240z Posted February 17, 2004 Author Share Posted February 17, 2004 Nah Mike, no aftermarket harness....IMHO, those are a complete and utter waste of $$$$. After rewiring my Z (240), it's so easy that I can see how these places selling aftermarket harness are just making $$$ hand over fist!!! Yeah, for a 20c resistor, it's definitely worth a shot!!
