Gear indicator on dashboard

you should remember what gear you shifted too whereas when in auto mode it shifts so fast to od before 45 mph you don't know what gear it's in now. it's there cause you tap up and down and also it flashes if it won't let you downshift so you know it didn't downshift.I beleve it would be helpfull for automode so you can learn the exact shiftpoints for friendly drive if you just like man mode.
digital has saved me alot cause sometimes I have to downshift from 4 to 2 cause the lane I'm in just dropped down to 40 and the lane next to it is like 65 70. if it down shifted to 3 (goes from 4 to 3 and then flashes 3 meaning no downshift till you lower rpms)and stuck at 3 then I don't have the power or abaility to get up to speed of the other lanes traffic 4cyl 
If you have these moments often invest in tranny cooler as well cause it's well worth it!

On the ATX, it tells you whether you're in PRND, so on the MTX it should tell you as well. The dash just looks kinda empty in those spots where the ATX gear indicators would normally be.
Just launch from 4th every time. You'll always know what gear your in, and can reach 126 in that gear if you bounce of redline. Why bother shifting?russr said:
Digital gear indicators weigh you down. You should cut out the dash and install a voicebox.russr said:

In all honesty, I'm not sure if the ECU even knows what gear the MTX is in. I've heard rumors of 6s that can beat the 120mph limiter by staying in 4th gear. However, I've yet to see this in person. I've personally gone over 120 in 4th, but only by a mph or two (on the road courses).
Assuming that the ECU does know what gear you're in, then you may be able to fabricate something. The time, effort, and expense though may be more than you want to bother with.

yea i realize it's kinda pointless, but it would be cool to mod that current gear into the display. If the ECU doesn't even know what gear the MTX is in, it would be really difficult and not worth doing. I'm a recent stickshift convert and I'm still very much in the learning process, so that's why I asked in the first place.
