RE: Any 2009 manuals here yet?
I HAVE NOT HEARD ANYTHING ABOUT THE CAGS (SKIP SHIFT) FEATURE WITH THE 6 SPEED TRANNY.
BUT, IT MAKES SENSE, BECAUSE THIS IS THE EXACT TRANNY THAT IS USED BY THE CORVETTE WHICH ALWAYS HAD CAGS. THIS 'TRE-MEC' TRANSMISSION IS USED IN THE VIPER, CORVETTE AND MUSTANG. (DON'T PUKE, BUT TRE-MEC - WHICH WAS FORMERLY KNOWN AS BORG WARNER - IS OWNED BY FORD)
SO, IF YOU REALLY WANT TO KNOW HOW IT WORKS, GO TO YOUR CHEVY STORE AND TEST DRIVE A MANUAL TRANNY CORVETTE AND TRY IT OUT.
IT'S REALLY NO BIG DEAL. TO OVERIDE IT YOU CAN DISCONNECT IT OR GIVE THE THROTTLE A LITTLE BLIP AFTER COMING OUT OF 1ST GEAR AND THEN YOU'LL BE ABLE TO GET INTO 2ND GEAR WITHOUT ANY HASSLE.
