There are some HOWTO's around search here, and try Google.

I found some via Google before I knew about the RX7 Club

You have to pull the gauge cluster.......its on the back of it somewhere......

It grows on you........I did not like it at first......not knowing it was there........now I think its great ....

Dont have to look and you know when to shift......

Priceless.....

Personally, I think the shift buzzer is more of a sugestion when to shift. It's a sugestion that I don't often listen to.

You can adjust when you want the shift buzzer to go off.

What if you shift at an rpm above when the buzzer goes. Then it would just get annoying.

When the shifter goes off just stay in it for three more seconds and then....

SHIFT!! Really fast before the casing bolts start to vibrate out!!!
