Factory Shift Light.

Hey guys whats up I am new to the forums and I just bought a 06 IP G35 coupe and I have to say that I love it. I was driving the other day and started to play around with the button to reset the mileage driven and came across a different set of numbers. It said 3000. Once my revs passed 3k a little red light lit up right under the REV sign in the RPM gauge, Probably something old but since I owned a SRT-4 previously I thought it was pretty cool... Let me know if anyone has done this or knew about it.

There used to be a shift arrow in my '84 Mustang. I thought it was annoying as I rarely, if ever, shifted when it told me to The shift arrow is still there in the new Shelby GT 500 Mustang, although I hear it is programmable.

The shift light indicator was very useful during break-in period, but now I have it set to 7k so it never turns on...

in your manual it tells you how to change it i think u have to hold it till it starts flashing and then by pressing u get 100rpms and by holding it jumps by 500rpms after u set it to what u want it to be just leave it and it stops flashing on its own,
i got mine at 5,800rpms so i get a nice warning at 5,300 with the light flashing to be prepared for a shift soon
