2011 manual trans question

They don't have skip shift because they can't. They don't have enough torque to be able to skip a few gears at low RPM. How would you like to drop into 4th gear at 1,000 RPM accelerating from a light? Not all that fun with the 3.7, but the big V8s manage without much fuss. Keeps the EPA happy.

And it ONLY happens if you are accelerating very slowly.

I know, I was considering a LS2 GTO before I chose the Z and after driving a couple with this feature, I knew the first thing I would do is get it turned off with a tune or a skip-shift inline eliminator. You are right about torque though, there is not much below 2krpm that's for sure!
