Got two (was two...one just sold his) friends here at work with '95 and '96
Z's...both 6 speeds. The CAGS kicks in at low speeds when under about 2700
rpm. It was the CAFE crap for sure that forced it. It really isn't an
issue though since a simple little piece of electronics and a couple
weather pak connectors eliminates the CAGS in a jiffy. The current T56
would *never* make it into a truck with its 2.61 first gear. Hell, that's
like startin' in second.....
