Yes, absolutely. You can buy a skip shift elininator from many different online vendors (just google it) and plug it in. It's just that easy.

Re: 1st to 4th shifting

or you can just change your driving shift point so they never come up... i never have to deal with it... I will try to pay attention exactly how I do it... but it almost never comes up for me.

Re: 1st to 4th shifting

If you dont want to bypass it, just give the car a little bit more throttle when driving or hold 1st gear a little longer before shifting. I believe its something like ~22mph when it no longer tries to shift into 4th gear. If just cruising, you can also just take off in second gear

Re: 1st to 4th shifting

Back in the day I read somewhere that if you removed the fuse for Auto trans that the skip shift would go away. I never tried it and dont know why a stick would have an auto trans fuse, but something to try if you dont want to spend the 20 bucks
