Ratchet Shifter - Gear Selection Lights

Hi, I've just installed a B + M megashifter on my turbo700, and it would be nice to know what gear its in by some lights on the dash. SO what I'm trying to get is some kind of counter so when you hit it up through the gears 1 light comes on then 2 then 3 then 4. Anyone done this before? Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance!!

Lokar makes dash mounted LED indicators. Try Summit or Jegs.

thanks for the quick reply, its so awesome how there is so much specific information by the members here.

third gens are awesome.

well im still looking at summit to see if there are any variations on what ive seen but basically that part you refer to only has pnrd21 where as my auto is modified to be pnr4321 so the display doesn't suit.

thanks though.

Not for a T700 /4L60.All the ECM controls is the lockup.
If however you had a 4L60E then it might do something because the PCM controls the shifts
