Thanks C32AMG. So if I'm reading this right, then you think I should be okay. The B1 switch will only send signal to the ECU during shifts into 2nd gear, to save the auto tranny from unnecessary torque damage. If no signal is sent (unplugged), timing never gets retarded and I have 'standard' timing constantly. The ECU just thinks that I got the optional factory 2nd gear delete
I got the wife's buy-in on this. I think I'm going to do it. I'll just keep all the original bits around just in case it ends in disaster for some reason.
Thanks.
Brian
