Default who has a shift light on their cluster??

hey i just got a 94 CX and then i was driving home and then i noticed this light with an arrow that kept coming on but when i was shifted it would go off then a few more mph it would come on and then turn off when i shifted...anyone else have this shift light? i think i remember reading in the manual that its for non california cars... my car came from colorado years ago... interesting stuff.

can it be reprogramed to like 8800 if someone had a swap? that would be supersleeper

My old CRX had one... Not sure what other models do. Not worth your time to try to reprogram it. If you don't know when to shift, you shouldn't be driving a manual...

my 92 cx came with a tach and a dummy light (shift light) im not sure if you can change the activation for that light. i would imagine, however, you could get some sort of rpm activation switch and do it though.

Maybe it was replaced. I am 99.9% sure a tachometer was not included for a CX. Can someone do some research? I'm too lazy

i think the shift light tells you when to shift for better fuel economy

when i was in virginia not too long ago, the guys who i was staying with were into draggin their cars. these are 40-60 year old domestic guys whose full time jobs were car mechanics and factory workers anyway.

my boys uncles 67 camaro was a modified automatic, that a light cam on, and you just pressed a button and it shifted.

i saw him race a built 69 big-block camaro, which had run a 10.4 last time it was on the track. the 67 camaro beat it by 4 cars lengths, i'd never seen anything that fast in my life. The dude who put in the wrench time was a muscle car guru, so everyone there knew it was going to be fast, but not that fast...

if i remember correctly it was in franklin va...cause we drove 45 minutes from hampton.

There's a little bulb behind the light.
Ever wonder how so many people get their check engine lights to turn off without fixing the problem??? Covering the light with a tiny piece of black tape also works.

Seems to me that everyone has their own opinion of what came in each model.

the cx's in 1992 came with a shift light and tach. They also came with a full si wiring harness. Then it changed in 1993.

CX model , No tach but HAS a shift light
Mine has one but it's programmed to go off around 3K so I don't really look at it.
