"What Gear Am I In?" Answer Inside This Thread
I have a problem sometimes when I'm racing. I get all excited about the guy I'm trying to catch, and then I -- whoops! -- lose track of what gear I'm in. This can result in a bog when I try to accelerate and I'm in too high of a gear. Or worse, an over-rev if I downshift at the wrong time.
Here's a device that can help. It wires into to your speed and tach signals, and by doing a little simple math, it displays what gear the car is in. It works! It also serves as a shift light. The color is user-selectable, too. Dash-Top Gear Indicator - click me! Click the link for more info, pricing, and to order. --Dan Mach V FastWRX.com

Keep in mind, this thing works by dividing RPM by wheel speed. It's not like you're mounting sensors on your gearbox. But as a result, it's not going to tell you what gear you are in if you're sitting still; it only works when the car is in motion. --Dan Mach V FastWRX.com |

Is there a set-up process for this or is it just plug-n-go? Will wheel size effect the reading? Is it year specific? I really want one of these. Do I just order from the site? I'll be ordering at the end of the week. Thanks!
