Default Shift Light

Hello,

My father has a 2002 Trans Am WS6 and he is having problems trying to read the tack on when to shift. He doesnt drive it enough to shift the car by feel and noise.

Now is there a shift light that he can purchase. He doesnt want the tac and shift light he just wants the shift light. And where would he connect this shift light.

Thanks
Tilly

Yes a few companies offer shift lights alone, I myself have a Harlen, auto meter makes them so does Raptor.

The Harlen is adjustable, no need for "pills" you wire it up and install it you can also change the shift point when ever you'd like it's just simple binanry, or if binary isn't simple it comes with a page with how to set even.

As where to mount thats up to him, me I hid mine in my drivers vent over my radio, it really didn't hurt the A/C or heat flow at all and still easy to see.

There are ten kinds of people - those who understand binary and those who don't!

Hey thanks for the help, I'll take a look at some of the models that you guys have recomended for my father and for myself.

Would you guys care to show me any pics on where you put it exaclty, and how did you go through the firewall to wire it. Actually I am curious on how you wired it.
