Top With 51123 miles 1989 was the last year before a mid-cycle
refresh for the Chevrolet Corvette, and while the high-performance
four-cam ZR-1 was heavily promoted, it would not actually arrive
until 1990. That said, the 1989 Corvette was not without its
advancements. A ZF 6-speed manual replaced the quirky Doug Nash 4+3
transmission, but the ZF unit was not without its quirks. It
featured a Computer Aided Gear Selection (CAGS) 1-to-4 lockout
that, if under light acceleration, would lock out second and third
gears and force a shift from first to fourth. Under hard
acceleration, though, all gears were available. This, of course,
was for fuel economy purposes, and high-performance GM cars have
since used the system on other manual transmissions. Thankfully, it
can be defeated with a few bucks and a few minutes under the
transmission. In general, the ZF 6-speed was a major improvement
over the old 4+3, and manual transmission cars tend to command a
price premium over automatics.
