your car came with 2.73 gears which don't have the 1 option stock
if you take an exacto knife you can cut the part where the 1 is supposed to be and it will work (just for some reason, they didn't let you select it unless your car came with 3.23s)
all ls1 autos though (just as a side note) had the 1st gear selection

Someone obviously swapped the gears, 'cause I doubt that the shifter ever needed to be changed:think:. And yes, it's true that 2.73 geared LS1's have 1st gear available, since that's how my car came, meanwhile, my friend's '96 T/A has 1st gear blocked out (again, 2.73's;)). Apparently it's simple to fix though:). And, you should be glad you've already got the 3.23's in your car:cool:.
