Does your shift light work?
 

Cant seem to get my shift light to work - never has- probably dont want it anyway, annoying.

We have shift lights? Lol

Amazingly the shift light still works in my race car. In other cars I have seen it is just the bulb that has blown out in the gauge cluster. If I remember right I replaced the bulb when I installed some white face gauges in a '87 T2 I had a long time ago.

you mean the one that comes on at 3k??
works on both mine.

mine doesnt work never has prob never will, I dont really car to much,


=CHris

mine works it tells me to shift at 2500

cool.. eh.. i'm guessing mine didn't work cause.. i didn't even know of such a light till now :D

mine works

uhhhhh..... :scratch: we have shift lights? where is that located.... ?

I looked all over the dash and saw no shift light =(

Why would you want it to work!!!???

It's suppose to tell you when to shift for best FUEL economy. BLAH.

Mine works =(

Some year I'll take the time to disable it. I've learned to ignore it and don't even notice it except at night.

mine worked last time my car ran, theres a site around somewhere the descripes how to change the rpm your shiflight comes on at, something about wiring in a resisor

maby ill wire the light and buzzer to come on at the same time.. right now my light comes on at like 3k

is this on the s5's? my 91 never flashed anything at me. it does beeeeeeeeeep sometimes, lol.

It works fine on my 88. It is just a arrow that lights up at 3k RPMs saying you should shift if you want to save your fuel.

86-88's were the only 2nd gens to come with the light.

I've promptly removed the Shift Up light bulb out of all my cars and most of the cars I've worked on. Quite useless.

Hey i liked it but now i got a real shift light :D

my car has a shift up light thingie... but it goes off at like 4000 rpm....

Mine works perfectly, but I ignore it...

I thought I saw a writeup on how to adjust it. Maybe last year? (glad they dropped it on the S5's)

thats weird.. why do your shift light buzzers go on soo early? Mine doens't light up and buzz until i hit red line.. Maybe it's just broken... but it still buzzes at me

KenshinFC,
that's a redline buzzer. the light they are talking about comes on alot of manual transmission cars. it signals a recommended shift point. the buzzer tells you to stop so you don't blow up your engine :P

ok.. hehe.. i guess mine is broken... its okay.. why would you want a shift light on a modded 5sp TII like mine?

Mine doesn't work and i dont car I hate that damn thing

mine works... its kinda nifty. not that i ever shift when it comes on though...
