i have a 1998 civic hx, 5 speed 2 door and i have heard of other cars having a shift assist light, that tells or suggests when to shift based on the rpm/throttle input. does anybody know if honda put one in my car? i have never seen it and i am wondering if it had one maybe i need to change the bulb.

 

it should have it. maybe the bulb is blown. happens with older cars.

FYI: the light is VX and HX only
present for increased mpg.

 

so my hx IS supposed to have one? where is it located?
what side of the lcuster? left right top bottom, next to what lamp

 

bottom right I beleive. I may be thnking of the VX cluster though.

it should be a green arrow pointing up.
shine a flash light at the lights with the car off and you'll see it.

 

do you know how i can remove the cluster?

That is a thread on a DIY for Amber gauge bulbs. But it also give you instructions on removing the Cluster itself. Its honestly 6 screws. Just lower your steering wheel all the way.
