As we all know, the gear indicator is activated when in Sequential SportShift. I was wondering if you guys think it's possible to make the gauge cluster display the gear even in automatic mode.

After driving so long in SS mode, I pretty much know what gear the car is in even without the indicator. Still, I think it would be a neat feature.

Do you guys think it could be done easily? I'm thinking a simple wire across 2 points on the cluster board would do it, but I don't know which points.

 

The thing is to find a signal when its in auto. Where? Idk.

 

It's all controlled by the PCM. There is no way of doing it, unless someone starts rewriting the firmware program inside the PCM.

 

i forgot how to drive in auto mode.

 

+1

i had it in auto once and accidentally went into neutral thinking i was shifting up

 

Cant even do that. Our prom is one that cant be rewritten.

ill be able to do this in 4 years...

 

Why 4 years, and not now ?

 

^ probly when he gets out of college.

I think a better mod would be figuring out how to make it so we have full control over the manual shift so we can shift in and out of first without gate shifting.

 

its called a six speed swap

 

or a full car swap.

 

that too.

 

haha that happend to me too and the fked up thing is i dropped back into D5 while on throttle anyway, i rather find a way to disable autoshift from 1-2 gear. i always drive tiptronic in all my cars

 

Lol...I thought I was the only one, I do this all the time

I only go to auto if I'm multitasking

 

99 doesnt autoshift except for downshifts at 5mph

 

thats because the 99 is only a 4 speed
