I think there is a cheaper option you can pick up from the same mob that makes the shiftkits for automatics.

Easy to wire and install and has a dual stage setting and the beeper sound also.The only problem I had was buying a cheap shift light that was the light only (+ -) and not the other crank sensors etc attached to it and I couldn't find one that had dual stage lights with the pos and neg only.Brett Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
