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.

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.

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.

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
