Gear Shifting Light question ....

is this normal for FC's... everytime i shift, the "shif up" light turns on too early. Its like between 1000 and 2000 rpms, it turns on. And everytime it turns on, i loose some rpm, cant even floor it coz when it reaches 4000 the speed seems like to bounce. How do i correct this?

Is this on an auto? Swap a manual into it.

Why would an auto have a shift up light?

What exactly happens at 4000rpm? Does the car kinda hesitate? Check your grounds maybe?

The shift up light should come on around 2600 RPM for less than half throttle and at 4000 RPM at more than half throttle.
