8 year old helps install Challenger Scat Pack Skip Shift Eliminator

[@raymondsmith5653]

This was the first mod on my Scat Pak Shaker. The second was an oil catch can on the PVC line. I also remember jacking, blocking and crawling under the car. I got myself a drive on lift in my garage for my 50th birthday present I don.t miss crawling under the car any more for jobs like this it takes longer to get the car up off the ground and on jack stands than it takes to do the job.

[@WorkPlayDrive]

Totally agree, some day I will have a lift, until then all my jobs will be extended by 30 minutes of lifting and lowering the car. Catch can for me is in the works still trying to figure out what color I want to detail the engine Bay. Since my car is all black I was considering all orange anodized accents under the hood.

Nice to see a young 6 speed sister in training ♡ my daughter and I are putting mine in tomorrow together! Dads build great, smart and independent women when they teach them to work on cars!♡♡

[@WorkPlayDrive]

SeeAppleDee D it’s awesome when the kids get into these things. Have fun with your install 😉

[@ryancook5479]

Thanks for this video. I was able to find exactly where to install mine. The instructions weren't exactly clear...at least to me. Got this in now with no problems. Smooth shifting from here on out!

[@WorkPlayDrive]

Thank you, one of those mods I wish I did sooner.

[@ryancook5479]

@@WorkPlayDrive Yeah, Me too.Finally got it done over the weekend.

[@TheKGStarbuck]

That was a pain in the butt disconnecting the original plug! But I finally got it! Thanks for the video!

[@WorkPlayDrive]

Glad to Help

[@Diesel_Andrew]

hell yeah man I brought the $14 one off Amazon and it really does work so much happier with my car now.👍👍

[@WorkPlayDrive]

My only regret is not installing one sooner ;)

[@tt-rs1457]

Your Videos are really great. Right now, I am working on the 79er US-Beetle covertible which my older Brother bought from me 26 years ago. It has an Engineswap ( Porsche 914 ) and special breaks that am working on. I think, your doughter did a better job, than my 59 old brother :-)

[@WorkPlayDrive]

thank you! that beetle sounds bad ass once you fix your brothers boo boos LOL

[@ratfink-ti2pn]

Thanks for including your kids! 😎

[@WorkPlayDrive]

I'm hoping to do what my dad did for me, getting me involved at a young age helped plant the interests and skills I have today.:)

[@Guitarist555000]

Great videos as always dude! Don't know how your channel isn't more popular. I got my 392 a few weeks ago so I'm pretty stoked to start working on it, keep up the kick ass videos!

[@WorkPlayDrive]

Thanks man, and congrats, hope she brings you many years of good times like mine has.

[@lmjames33]

Clutch valve delete and Barton shifter are best for 6 speeds. Never had a problem with shifting or being forced into another gear.

[@TSemasFl]

That's awesome, good father daughter time there, good video i enjoyed watching it.

[@WorkPlayDrive]

Thank you!

[@Mr.Titanium1911]

Great idea for father/daughter activity 👌

[@WorkPlayDrive]

Her next task is to change the oil, that should be a fun one.

[@MrD347]

Just did mine tonight , thanks for the vid . Took 3 minutes

[@WorkPlayDrive]

+mike neo it's one of those why didn't I do this sooner installs :)

[@petervaldivieso7921]

Quick question i have a 2021 Dodge Challenger Scat Pack 6.4L if i installed this skip shift eliminator would this messed up the transmission by shifting all the time when i first take off on 1st gear and then shifting to 4th gear

[@gladtal]

Great video, thanks! This doesn't shoot of any Check Engine Light or void your warranty or anything?

[@WorkPlayDrive]

The eliminator prevents the check engine light from coming on as it simulates the skip shift solenoid. Regarding warranty issues the device installed would have to proven as the cause of the issue for them to deny the warranty.

[@gladtal]

Work Play Drive makes sense, thanks!

[@Probablyshouldnthave]

I did this a few months ago, so happy I did

[@WorkPlayDrive]

+R Dixon Same here, I can't believe I waited a year. The last 2 days have been great... Next upgrade is a Barton Shifter!

[@Probablyshouldnthave]

I have been looking at that for months would love to see your install video and a review on it

[@WorkPlayDrive]

+R Dixon hopefully I'll have the cash for it in a few weeks. I'll definitely be recording that one!

[@troy830299]

You should do the clutch delay valve delete thing. It looks pretty simple and ive seen on the forums its very good

[@WorkPlayDrive]

I was researching this last week and it seems very easy. I wanted to get a few good baseline runs on the strip before I do it so I can see if it actually helped.

[@LynksysV]

I feel like an actual car ramp would be a good purchase for you. When you need to remove a wheel the jack is a must but for these other vids where you need to just get under the car, I think a set of ramps would make your life easier.

[@WorkPlayDrive]

True, but I have the routine streamlined since I've done it so many times. :) Once I get more space in my Garage for storage I plan on picking up a set of 56" race ramps.

[@LynksysV]

I see, well grats on your future purchase. I like your channel, most people just add more power but yours is more practical and aesthetic, it's a nice change of pace. Also teaching your kids from a young age seems fun. :D

[@brandonkilgore4726]

I can’t wait to do shit like this with my 3 girls

[@SoCalChewbacca]

what a great dad!

[@WorkPlayDrive]

Thanks Chewy!

[@cptzander-ch4xf]

Great video buddy

[@WorkPlayDrive]

Thank you

[@rmonroe401]

Weird, I haven't had this happen to me yet, but I only have 9k on my RT. Should I install it anyway to avoid in the future?

[@WorkPlayDrive]

The skip shift is an issue, masquerading as a fuel efficiency feature, for the Manual transmission models and only engaged when shifting from 1st to 2nd gear, between 19 and 21 mph with the Throttle 1/4 or less. Usually happened to me when making left turns or in my local neighborhoods. Never an issue when you are driving aggressively.

[@respond_code3]

I don't understand what the skip shift does. Bought a 19 scat 2 months ago and from reading the manual I was like what the hell. In street mode if I'm between 19-21 mph I cant shift into 2nd? I'm forced into 4th? That simply isn't the case. I'm able to shift into 2nd NP. So i thought maybe the manual just meant it as a suggestion. If you're at that speed you should shift into 4th for optimal mpg. I'm averaging 14 smiles per gallon so. Not really concerned about optimal driving Edit: went and read all the comments. I guess it is supposed to lock you out of 2nd. I wonder why I haven't had this happen. Maybe my throttle was just a tad to much

[@kevinpaschal5224]

lol you fart ? yes , good job lol ........ i'm going to make some jello , good jog dad keep the kids into using there hands and heads to get things done . oh by the way thanks for the vid on the barton shifter, did mine on sunday it took less then 45 min. peace

[@WorkPlayDrive]

Sweet I’m glad to have helped.

[@RobertoTapia-ey5jc]

Have you guys had any check engine lights show up?

[@WorkPlayDrive]

Nope, that's the purpose of the eliminator the inline resistor gives the proper feedback. It's been about a week and I went on a long drive in the mountains this weekend with no issues.

[@mikea2342]

Does the skip shift eliminater cause any warranty issues?

[@mikea2342]

Nevermind, LOL should have read more comments first!! All ready answered

[@mattcarafa210]

Sometimes when shifting from 1st to 2nd it's like it bumps it away from the strait down pattern into 2nd gear(doesn'twant to go into 2nd), does this skip shift eliminator fix that problem?

[@WorkPlayDrive]

Yes, this eliminates the "efficiency feature" where after the car warms up between 19 - 21 MPH when trying to shift into 2ng gear at moderate to low throttle 2nd gear is locked out sliding you into 4th.

[@392Boost]

@@WorkPlayDrive , thanks for the video. I thought my trans was messed up, and I've been banging my shifter over hard left when shifting into first, because I thought the shaft out of the trans wasn't rotating enough. I even bought the Barton shifter to fix this problem, and I was sad that it didn't go away (Although way happy with the shifter anyways, much much better than stock). I'm gonna see if I can tune it out with HPTuners, if not I'll get this. The whole point of a manual is to have complete control of the shifting, I had no idea that somebody would ever come up with such a stupid idea as forced people to skip 2 gears. Thanks

[@sznihad8032]

Hey amigo! Do you have a vid doing the clutch delete valve? If not, I would like to ask if you have seen any and would be able to identify the rubber cover used in most vids I've seen, sometimes called a nipple. Where can they be found and what are they called? Thanks and sorry for the off-topic post to this vid (which I used to do my sse!)

[@WorkPlayDrive]

no video on this one, I wont be dong the CDV delete. But when I was considering it I had these laying around and they would make a super tight seal amzn.to/2FepVgZ (little Red Caps for Caulk

[@sznihad8032]

Awesome thanks bro! Hey do you see any issues in doing it? I thought it'd be a good combo mod with my recently installed Barton (thanks to your vid)

[@WorkPlayDrive]

my reasoning for not doing it, is when you drop the clutch to launch it removes the delay which in my mind does 2 important things when slipping the clutch a little. It creates a more consistent launch and pads the shock to your drivetrain. the tradeoff is that slip will of course wear out your clutch faster. That said tons of people do it and so far I have not read any major issues.

[@meggabitz]

Put it in sport mode and skip shift is disabled. Free. No modding.

[@tbdieseltrucking]

Great video. You had mentioned in the Taser video, that you were uphappy with the dealership you purchased from. Any suggestions for a Hellcat dealership that sells alot of these and knows the car well. I am in the Northeast. Look forward to the next video. New subscriber!!!

[@WorkPlayDrive]

Thanks for the sub! My dealership was out of CT, I don't have a dealership I could recommend, I do all my maintenance myself fearing the day I can't fix something... however there are quite a few Facebook groups you should join with tons of members willing to share their purchase experience start with "dodge challenger owners association" If you're in North Jersey www.northjerseymopar.com we have quite a few hellcat owners that would be happy to share

[@tbdieseltrucking]

Thanks for the response, and you're welcome on the sub. I am in Mass, but my wife is originally from Jersey (Jamesburg area ). I would be doing the maintenence myself as well. I just have a hard time with dealerships that just want to "sell" a car. Most likely would wait for spring to avoid crappy weather. Would love a Hellcat, but most likely will get the 392 Scatpak Shaker in manual. We'll see. I guess I have to broaden my horizons with social media. This is all I have. Anyways...enjoying the videos...thanks again.

[@WorkPlayDrive]

yes sir, the communities really help, good luck with the purchase. I did the same wanted a hellcat, went for the Scat Pack and I am NOT sorry I did The SP is not a compromise.

[@Inspector3988]

What does that item do? I did not hear it in the video.

[@WorkPlayDrive]

with a challenger manual transmission for fuel economy reasons the car locks out 2nd gear when the engine is at normal operating temps, the car is traveling 19 - 21 MPH and the throttle is less than 1/4/ It's an annoyance because in my case I would be making a left turn and try to shift into second and get denied, I would then fumble for 3rd or 4th.

[@Inspector3988]

I have not noticed my 2016 six speed blocking out any gears when I move. Is this only on the earlier models? I have the 392 engine.

[@WorkPlayDrive]

It's on all modern manuals as far as I know. it only happens when all the conditions are met. My brain is programmed to shift between 19-21 MPH when turning and I couldn't stop doing it so this helped

[@KimonoSkunk]

What a great video... sharing your car with your daughter... how unbelievably adorable. I have an 11 year old daughter that loves cars as much as I do. I will do the same thing with my Fiesta st and Challenger when I buy them.... Your daughter loves the camera, and isn't afraid to help daddy with his hot-rod. A question tho... when she reaches driving age, will you pass the Challenber down to her? As my Rachael wants me to get her a Kia Optima when she starts driving in 5-6 years or when she chooses. Cherish these times with her... ^^ Cheers... Kimonoskunk

[@WorkPlayDrive]

Not sure what I'll be doing when she gets to driving age, but I'll try to make sure she is able to take care of herself both behind the wheel and under the hood.

[@Toxik_Hellcat]

what does the skip shift eliminator do exactly

[@WorkPlayDrive]

on a Manual for fuel economy the skip shift forces you from first to 4th, like a gate blcoking off 2nd gear. The skip shift only comes into play when your car is warmed up and you try to shift from 1st to 2nd between 19 and 21 MPH at 1/4 throttle or less. For me this was always happening when making left turns or while driving through the school zone and shifting low to keep the exhaust noise down.

[@earache06]

i have a 2012 R/T Classic 5-speed automatic... i'm not a gear head - is there a fix for this on my car? I never knew what this issue was until i learned about it today! i have noticed the issue from time to time though! Awesome video with the help of your daughter!

[@WorkPlayDrive]

This is only an issue (actually tagged as a fuel economy feature) with the manual transmission. If you have issues with the Auto shifting you may want to see the dealer for that fix.

[@bubbasanjohnny]

Mechanic today, race car driver tomorrow.

[@WorkPlayDrive]

my son is more the driver, he's drifting with his power wheels already, she's more pit crew minded.

[@emtfirefighter69]

so my daughter tuns 8 next month ill see if she can help me like your princess did lol. she always like to help even though she helps me down most of the time hahaha this means I just ordered it ;-) #Mrconsumer

[@WorkPlayDrive]

nice, the hard part is getting Mom's OK to let her under the car.

[@emtfirefighter69]

Have to do it when moms at work lol. Oh she turns 7 not 8 😢🤣

[@camarocarl7130]

Do all Challenger 6 speeds have this skip shift from the factory?

[@WorkPlayDrive]

Yup it's an "economy thing" on many modern manual cars. (Camaros too Carl :) )

[@camarocarl7130]

Work Play Drive Not sure if mine is working?

[@WorkPlayDrive]

On the Challenger, the skip shift only comes into play when your car is warmed up and you try to shift from 1st to 2nd between 19 and 21 MPH at 1/4 throttle or less. For me this was always happening when making left turns or while driving through the school zone and shifting low to keep the exhaust noise down.

[@camarocarl7130]

Never happens on mine. Funny.

[@WorkPlayDrive]

some people have a different driving style, some never notice it me It was pretty much 3 to 4 times daily.

I am so pissed at my r.t. I cant see straight thanx for video. oh and change her diet or sumfin

[@WorkPlayDrive]

If the anger is due to the Skip Shift this will make life awesome for you. I wish I did it sooner! Lol

[@rustyshackleford6811]

where do I get my shift blocker....blocker

[@WorkPlayDrive]

Look up the one for your year and model from www.speedlogixstore.com/ search for "Skip shift eliminator"

[@kmeyerlocal66]

Nothing more annoying when trying to get on it, and that dang skip kicks in! Thank Dodge for this absolutely useless "safety" feature.

[@WorkPlayDrive]

It’s not really a safety feature. Unfortunately it is an emissions mandated feature so dodge really had no choice. my 2002, Trans Am has the same skip shift. I just got done installing an eliminator on that car as well.
