We've always been of the opinion that if it doesn't make you go faster, stick
better or be safer, it's generally a waste of money. There have been exceptions,
and this has to be one of the coolest. The idea is pretty self-explanatory: on
top of
the
shift knob is an LCD (

that after telling it the number of gears and, we're assuming, the movement of
the stalk, displays what cog your transmission is residing. According to
TMTuning, installation is straightforward, the LCD has an auto-dimming
feature and it can be yours in blue or red for $169.00. Worthwhile? That's in
the hand of the beholder.
Ed.note: This has no appeal to me what so ever, because I normally
drive with my eyes closed :-D
