Enable overrev light as shift light?

[Japeatr]

i was thinking of setting the overrev light at a lower RPM to function as a shift indicator...thoughts?

please see attached photo for clarification

It's a good thought, unfortunately it doesn't work like that...At least not on my friend's GTO. Also I recall that enabling it on an auto is BAD, although I don't know why. Since you're not auto it's worth a shot but I bet you a beer it doesn't work.

ill drive to houston for that beer Bill...but i have zinged the revs to high in the past and it has come on, i thought about settign it about 200 less than the shift point to try it

Post proof and I'll gladly pay up. Could be an E40 PCM thing.

It seems to come on at 7500 no matter what you set that to. =)

Yeah... doesn't really work.

We have it set at 7k on my car... and 6.5k on my friend's car. Never really comes on... we've both seen it maybe once or twice, but that's only if you bang the rev limiter (we're both at 7400).

I'm partial to Coors Light these days.

The only time I've seen that light come on is when I powershifted my car from 2nd to 3rd on the highway (without the WOT box).

It doesn't listen to what you tell it to do. If it were my kid, I would beat it with a wooden spoon.

Still waiting for my beer too.

Interesting. I set up my HHR to do this and it works as it should. I have an E67 PCM.
