Wow, Great thanx for the tip.

I never even knew it had that option.
Did it and immediately went out on the road to test it.

No need to still break in. All the new cars these days are already "broken in" by the manufacturer.

Thanks!!! Got mine all set

great DIY! All I set was the gear light! Let the good MPG begin!

I can confirm this works also on European GT86 models.

Really quick and easy instructions. Thanks!

bluehi · 04-19-2013, 11:24 AM

Nice instructions! Super easy. I'm surprised it didn't come with these settings enabled.

It is kinda funny.. I learned manual in my car and the whole time I was like.. "I wish it would have a display to show what gear I'm in." then... after I learn how to drive it I find this DIY!

OMG this is going to be so useful for my GF who can never seem to remember what gear she's in or when to shift.

Haha, same here.

Still, thanks for the DIY. Kind of wished it showed the gear regardless of my clutch position, though.

Has anyone been able to answer this?
