i can't the idea of have something show what gear i'm actually in. is it possible?

 

umm....yeeeah.

 

not sure what your asking I used a Lokar digital display with my hurst lightning rods set up.

 

probably need to rig up 6 momentary push button switches under the console, one for each gear and reverse so the stick hits it. them make some kind of a digital display on the dash to display the gear, would nee a primitive computer too. I think its more work that its worth, its not really that hard to keep track of what gear you are in.

 

It exsts. A vendor at the 2007 SEMA show was displaying such a product. I'll have to dig through my bag of literature from the show.

I'm making my own right now for my T5 with a hurst shifter. Prototype is done and works great, just waiting for the warm weather to do the final install.

My setup displays the gear you're in on a seven segment display placed where the cigarette lighter goes. I also made it into a digital shift light for a little more functionality, blinking the gear display at the rpm of your choice.

I'm using 4 switches for the 5 gears and reverse, with a microcontroller to handle the switches, led display, and the signal from the distributer for the shift light.

Darn winter
