Re: upshift indicator [4k/CGT]

[tsal2@juno.com (Timothy C Salazar II)]

It didn't work in either my `82 coupe or my current `86.  Although, in
the `82 it could have been one of a legion of electrical demons.  I think
they disconnected it at the factory for the GT's, to give it a sportier
feel.  Yeah, who would buy a sports car that tells you to shift because
you're not driving "Economically"?!  But this is complete conjecture.
