If you didn't have the eliminator, it would mechanically stop you from shifting into second when the light is on. Good thing you have one. It's almost as annoying as the asr. When it's on. If you’re worried about your car. Don't slip the clutch excessively. Don't burn the rear tires all the time. And try not to grind any gears. Just take it easy till you get used to it. You should be fine.
