Sounds like the shitty ass CAGS (Computer Aided Gear Selection) JaysGreenLX mentioned above. You could always just get this: http://www.thunderracing.com/catalog/?action=vshop&vid=13&pcid=174. That will take care of the crappy skip-shift and it’s $21.99 for a quick and easy fix. Also, check out www.ls1tech.com if you’ve got time, it’s a great site and has tons of useful info. Hope this helps.
