Ok- I'm confused(Yea easliy done) I've only seen this light come on twice since I've had the car. Does that mean when I thought I shifted into 3rd I was actually in 4th gear? :confused:

It only comes on when you are about to shift from 1st to 2nd when your revving between 1000 to 2200 rpm or thereabouts. It will energize a solenoid at the trany which stops you from going into 2nd gear. It takes you right to 4th gear.

Well I guess thats why I hardly ever see it, I usually go well above 2200 rpm before shifting out of 1st.

You can just unplug it and tape it up or you can buy the little plug from any where, they are about 17 bucks.
