Is there a way to disable the shift buzzer or move it up again without disabling the low oil buzzer at the same time? They must feed off different wires. I don't mind the low oil buzzer, but for some half retarded reason the previous owner of my RX7 has the shift buzzer set to 6,200 rpm instead of 8,000+. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks guys.

 

the owners manual for my '86's say its set at 6900 rps +/- 100 rpm not 8000.

 

My buddies untouched 87 starts to buzz at 8,000 rpm. Mine starts to buzz at 6,200 rpm, which annoys the all holy heck out of me because I get on the highway turning ~7,000 in it.

 

Why shift dude thats why you 5 gears

 

Personal preference? I know I have 5 gears. I also know the car has 2 rotors! And a whopping 1.3 liters! :O

 

yay you have the basics what year is it

 

Screen name isn't a dead giveaway?

 

. . .i have an extra gauge cluster ill look at the back and see if the buzzer has seperate gates for the different functions

 

there are 3 solder points on the back that control the buzzers function i'm not sure which one controls the tach . the old owner of one of my cars just removed the buzzer all together

 

Yeah, which is what I really don't wanna do since the redline buzzer is the low oil buzzer too....

 

just chect your oil when you fill up and keep an eye on you oil pressure gauge as long as your between 43psi and 86psi at 3000rpms your good if you go below 40 psi at 3000 rpm your low on oil

 

I usually always do anyway. I'm **** about checking fluid levels, and a bit paranoid about it. My first car ever drank more oil than it did gas.

 

well all of mine go through a quart about every 500 miles.you do have a dummy light for oil level , coolant level, and a red line to tell you when you NEED to shift

 

Yeah. I've put oil in mine ONCE since I got it (about 2,200 miles ago/2 months ago).

What originally sparked my interest in replacing the buzzer with a shift light was this:

you can wire your own LED pod into your shift light..

 

And since I've never done it before on an RX7, how would I go about doing that? I've only wired them into piston driven engines via the distributor.

 

goto radio shack or an auto parts store and get a LED pod that can handle 12v dc. ok take your cluster out. there are light bulb holders made by toshiba on the back remove the one labeled SHIFT its beside the one named BEAM. solder leads to the copper contact points . run them to the LED pod. put the cluster back in the dash. you will have the same "after market" looking shift light . and then you can tell all your friends you did it yourself

thank you

 

one thing though the adjuster on the cluster i'm holding is inside behind the tach face

 

^ Yeah, what he said.
