Drivetrain: How-To: Install B&M Shiftplus
#126
Hey hack i did a little test and you can wait until you are in D at a stop you can put it into Stage I or II so you don't feel the lurching when you go from P to R to D or just P to D (you get the idea)
and be sure to add in the how to that the red wires with a black stripe may in some cases be orange wires with a black stripe like mine was

when at a stop in D you can go from off to stage 1 or from stage 1 to stage 2. Some people thought you could only engage the stages in P and doing it that way causes hard lunges when going from P to R or to D. This just saves you from looking retarded in a parking lot when reversing out of a space lol But remember in order to go down in stages you must turn the car off . About the red wires, mine really weren't faded i followed them up to the fuse box and plus the black stripe on it was dark as night but you might be right though. oh well it still works.

either some of you are colorblind....WE'RE colorblind......or GM used a different colored spool of hose when they made these wires. Because mine were definitely more of an orange than red color. Kinda dark orange, but definitely not red.

starting 06 they stopped using a red wire and started using orange. SOOOOOO the basic story is look for the red OR orange wire wrapped with the black one

give the box a squeeze along the long sides and push the button in a little more. make sure its making a connection... mine did that for a little bit, then i just wedged it a little tighter under the steerying wheel

Pretty sure you have figured it out by now, but mine was an early model 06 but it was made in late 05, checked the sticker in the trunk under the carpet, my friend put the Shift+ on his 05 LT and his was orange but his build sticker says 10-20-05 so maybe somewhere around that time they switched from red to orange?
And if you want to know where the sticker is pull up the trunk carpet/wood insert and mines on the left side of the spare tire slot.

Put mine in today, it's not hard, agree with Kloppster the worst part is putting the rubber piece back in! haha
Instead of going under the steering wheel I hid my switch here
It's inside where the trunk release switch is
I don't know how anyone could possibly want this thing to shift any harder, in the second stage it kicks like crazy. The first one is a little harsh but not to bad. Overall it's a good mod!
