6th gear light indicator?
I would rather have a dash light that let me know when I am in 5th gear instead of 6th.
I wind up in 6th and have to shift back to 5th way too often.
For you electrical minded, is this possible?

My tranny is quiet, I can tell by the rpms and the sound. There is a harmonic drone when the engine, gearing and the feel of where you are in the power band sounds just right.

Sometimes if I'm not paying attention and shifting a lot, it is easy to lose track of what hear you're in: "is it 3rd or 4th, where the hell am I?" Ride it more; you'll get used to it. 5th has its own sound that I know. If you're below 70 and lugging, you're probably in 6th. Watch the rpm's and speed and you'll get it figured out.
