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 **** are you trying to do, kill me???" light.

 

^^^LMAO^^^

 

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!

 

SSSSSCCCCCAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!! !!!!!! LOL. Just think. What if you weren't payin that much attension?

 

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 don't drive a Civic by any means... but I've missed a gear while trying to win money, the lack of further acceleration clued me in. I was paying more attension to the road because I was approaching a small bend. But I still won my money due to a perfect launch. You tend to get those when all you have is 110 bucks and you throw 100 of it down.

 

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!
