My skip shift seems to kick in most when I am making a turn onto a busy street and need decent acceleration - or at least thats when I notice it most.

When I drove it for a test drive it was like driving a car with 2 different transmissions that change at random, 4 speed versus 6 speed. I actually tested an automatic after to see if I would like it better. In the end I went with the manual.

I just unplugged the harness on the rear passenger top side of the trans. and now have no more functional skip shift. The words still show up on the info center but it is deactivated with no, I repeat, NO issues but more pleasant driving. Just taped the connector to keep them clean and zip tied it so it did not hang down. 5 Min job......so nice.
