Stock Shift Light???
I was out tuning my car, when to shift into third at about 7150, missed third gear and reved to 7836 rpm for a fraction of a second, while up there a yellow light in the top corner of the gauge panel lit up. Could this be our stock shift light coming alive?
|
It might be the upshift light that comes on when we could be getting better gas mileage by doing so. I just ignore it... I'd like to use mine as a shift light but for now I just pretend.
|
Shift light?? We have one of those?? Hmm
|
there is one there...it just does not work. i was told they dont work in the ss/sc's. it would be nice to tune it to where we like it though!
|
Thats the "Shift before you break it" light.
|
yup.... there is an option to use this shift lamp through hp tuners... but I think it just comes on at 7300 rpm or so
|
Well there is an option in hp tuners under the fuel control>fuel cutoff menu that says engine over speed lamp. Mine was set at 7500, so I re set it at 6900 but it never came on?
|
maybe time for a feature request over on the forum...doesnt work on ls1's but maybe it could work for cobalts...chris would be the one that would know.
|
That was the "What the fuck are you trying to do, kill me???" light.

Na, I wasn't worried. Its not gonna hurt anything reving that high for just like .1 seconds. Now actually driving it up there in second or third gear yes thats horible. I was a little worried about that because "WHERE THE HELL WAS MY DAMN REV LIMITER!?!?" supposedly its set at 7400 yet when I missed 3rd it just buzzed right up there to nearly 8000 rpm!

if your driving a ss/sc and pinning it your paying attention especially a modded one at that you ahve to pay attention this isnt a civic |
Yeah, I usually watch my tach like a hawk. I missed third, I though I was in gear and went WOT at 7000 rpm while still in neutral.

im going to use that as a qoute. On a nother note i would love for that shift light to work sometimes because there are alot of times im paying attention to a busy road and im like WTF because i wasnt paying attention. |
i think that was the check engine light :)
|
While logging some runs one night, I managed to get the car to 8175 when I missed. Everytime I powershift I see that little yellow light. Probably not a good thing but oh well. Its a little yellow gear, seems to come on around 7300ish.
|
remember, its not a honda cobalt ss2000 =P
|
i had that light come on for me once same thing missed the gear

I have had it come on onlyt once. freaked me out. I was just accelorating hard, came on at about 7k, right before I shifted
|
one of the guys that unlocked the stock shiftlight in the new GTO is an aquantence of mine, i might have to ask him if he can unlock the cobalt to adjust it to where we want it!
|
That would be sweet.
|
tminus 3 hours till i ask him ;)
|
i talked to him, said he would look into it right away, ill keep ou all updated as i hear stuff!
