C6 Corvette CAGS Disconnect Plug Install
A month or so ago me and my friend installed the CAGS disconnect plug that I ordered from TKO performance. The part was $20.
The CAGS disconnect plug overrides the 1st to 4th shifter on the manual transmissions of the C6 Corvette. The 1st to 4th shifter was implemented by GM to try and avoid the gas guzzler tax on some of their vehicles. At a certain speed/RPM band in first gear, the shifter will close second and slide into 4th when you shift down. It’s really annoying and is easily overridden with this part. Below is an installation video.
Tools used:
10mm socket
2 1/4 ton jack + block of wood
2 x 2 ton jack stands
It took about 25-30 minutes.
At the end of the video I said that the 1st-4th indicator light didn’t come on. It didn’t in that shot, but that could have been because I was accelerating too quickly. When I was driving home, I saw the light come on, but I was still able to shift into second so the install was a success.
Here is the part:
