    If you have an automatic then for what purpose do you want one for as you really have no control over shifts? :confused:

    Do you mean like an indicator as to what gear you're in?

    should have said "gear" indicator. What? Like you've never manually shifted an automatic tranny? ;)

    Yeah but you wouldn't need a shift indicator for that. :p

    Now that you've clarified, you can get something like this:

    http://www.dakotadigital.com/index.cfm/page/ptype=product/product_id=64/prd64.htm

    Or if your capable of doing it you could easily make your own using proximity sensors or contact switches & some LEDs. Might be too much trouble than what it's worth though.
