It's a solenoid that prevents shifting into those gears.
Ok, so Skip Shift is "bad", in that it *cough* "pussifies" *coughcough* your "manual" transmission then. Cuz that sure as he11 sounds like it is dictating how I should be shifting MY car.
So when the Red Key disables skip shift, then that is good, in the sense that you can shift it any way you want, right?
Just out of curiousity, can skip shift be disabled on the GT's in some way?
BTW - thanks for the info!
