Gear indicator (G-on) shows 2 when in 3rd gear
 

When shifting from 2nd to 3rd gear, the gear indicator goes from 2 to 2. Other gears work fine. Any ideas?

Thanks

You bought the car modded didn't you? Did they maybe change something in the shifter/tranny that messed up the position switch? Just a millimeter out could throw it off.

Yes I bought the car with mods. As far as I know, it was only the coilovers, brakes, and wheels/tires that were changed. The shifter feels like stock, but I could be wrong. Thanks for the input.

I'll bet your missing bottom of the 3 is a burnt out led/lcd.

I have a feeling the 1-6 indicator uses speed/rpm to figure out which gear it's in, which is why it only reads with the clutch out (as opposed to reverse, which must use the reverse switch). So maybe a final drive change? Or maybe differently sized front/rear tire diameter. Don't know why it would only effect 3rd, maybe just how ranges work out in the computer. Just spit-balling here.

Wait is the gear LED modded? Is that what you're all talking about?

I never got a gear display with mine :(

Sure you do. We all do. You just have to set it up.

Thanks guys

Did they put this in the manual?

Yep. It is pretty buried though. Also reads like old VCR instructions. They don't make it clear that the car has to be off and in accessory mode to do it. I sat there for half an hour trying to figure out why it wouldn't work.

Lol Wow this is awsome

Just watched the vid. I'm going to set the economy on mine and turn on the gear indicator. Not needed really but it's nice to display.

Thanks again!

It is fun to try to hit the shifts for economy for a while but gets old fast. Your mileage will improve but you may fall asleep while driving.

So you mean you dont get the best economy when you shift at redline in each gear?

I figured this

I'll just switch back and forth lol
