When exactly did the skip shift(which is dumb anyway) start on the T-56 in fourth generations? My buddy has a 1983 Chevy G20 that he is redoing and he has an LT1 all balanced, blueprinted, and ready to go. He wants a 6-speed manual to back it up and the T-56 is with the LT1 in the fourth generation. So, what tranny to look at? 93-?? I know skip shift started in 94 or 95 but I can't figure which one. Help!

 

don't worry about it. You can get a skip shift bypass for cheap.

Well, what exactly is the skip shift? Is it a valve body with a light for the instrument panel? Or is it totally inside the tranny? How much would a skip shift bypass run?
