looks better than the 12 dollar one I bought. The sob sent me a single resistor, instructions say "bend the leads and stick it into the ends of the connector" got it stuck in me...

The gentleman selling these is named Ray Sweers.
He is a V.C.A. member and owns a couple Vipers.
His Skip Shifts are very high quality and are made at his own plant in Elkhart Indiana.
Ray is a stand up guy. I think you will be very happy with his product.

not trying to dog anyone, but this looks exactly like the one that summit sells for $25 or $28. If you buy the one for the corvette, it is identical. I bought the summit one years ago and it has been working well since. easy to install... just like this one. Jegs has it even cheaper i've heard...

i think that either of the vette ones work...

Actually, the resistor method works just fine. Buy a 5-pack of 2.2 ohm 1/2 watt resistors at radio shack for one dollar. Just like you said, bend the leads, insert into connector, then seal it all up with electrical tape and zip ties. For one dollar I did my GTO, my son's GTO, and the Viper. Still had two left over.

If he's such a great guy, why is he overcharging people so much? Like was posted, you can do the exact same thing for a buck.

The postage is more than the parts.

That is the same one that I put in my car. I paid $35 plus shipping on the vendor here...don't need to mention the name. Only if I knew that I could purchased a resistor in Radioshack...maybe next time for the next viper

I think it is a bit pricey, but, that is THE one that I bought for my car. Super simple plug-in and very nice quality. I could not build that for $1.

Thirty times the value? Give me $1,500,000 for my car, and I don't care if you think I am a horrible person.

Katechengines.com has them for 18 dollars; this is the product I am using on my SRT. They are designed for all T-56 transmissions.
