Default HUD Shift Indicator

Newbie here. Just got my 03 Silver Coupe spd 3 weeks ago. Loving every minute of it. Ive read that the HUD displays a shift indicator. Is that true? If so, i wonder why i dont see mine?

You will see it when you bounce off the rev limiter...

I bumped my rev limiter to 6600 RPM and raised the shift points 3 MPH (automatic), and now it lights up when I am really getting hard on the car (at the dragstrip).

Yes, it will have a shift indicator on the HUD and the gauge cluster too. Get the revs up to close to redline and it should appear.
