so when u runnin round the track and u have your hand on the shifter thru the gears...how u gonna see what gear u in? Plus, this gismo requires u looking DOWN to see what gear u in Confused so much for line-of-sight
I prefer the dash-mounted display

It looks great for a car show but there is no line of sight since you will have your hand on the shifter. Cool but not useful!!

Better than no display tho...
If you want/need a display that is..

It retails in the US for $170 approx.

The question is and deciding factor i guess, is, How much would you pay for it? Rolling Eyes

Cute... but no thanks. $170 US is almost half of a decent Water-Methanol Injection kit.

A revolutionary product! This universal shiftknob with LCD display is not only good for looks: it also increases driving safety and helps reduce fuel consumption by up to 15 percent by means of an adapted driving style.



Driver safety???
How could it increase driver safety???
Any driver who puts this in his car has to look down at his gear shift knob to remember what gear he is in.
The ricer that needs a lighted knob to remind him what gear he is in should not be driving.

^^
i wouldn't use it in my car.

i have used other manual vehicles, that after you let go of the selector, it returns to neutral, even though the gear is still engaged. and i wouldnt use it in them either, looking down to see what gear its in. [dm16]PFFT[/DM16]

dash mounted would be a better step. and at US$170. bess i leave it for automatic drivers to buy.
