Well I don't think the shift light is practical for driving in a city. Seems to me it's just extra wear on the clutch since it's adding a bunch of extra shifts. Am I mistaken in thinking it's silly to upshift when you are only turning 2000 rpm's, have traffic signals every half mile, and if you need to accelerate you will have to downshift? turbospgnopsamsouth.net wrote: > It will save extra wear on you car if you change at the light, unless you are racing > it or trying to get away fast! > > Mark > 91 spg > > Donald Paull wrote: > > > I think the up-shift light is there to tell you when NOT to shift..
