I can't get why you wouldn't see the gear when the throttle is not pressed, not like your no longer in gear just because your not giving throttle.

So if your going down a steep hill and your in a lower gear for engine braking and just using the brake pedal, it won't show what gear your in in the display?

Haha well if I am completely out of the gas I usually have the clutch in. I guess I meant if I'm not in gear. I don't use my engine to slow down, just brakes. Sorry for the confusion.
