Gear indicator setup
This tachometer has a single digit display for gear position. The gauge can learn the positions based on speed and rpm
so no sensors are needed, just what you’ve already connected. It will work with 4, 5, 6 or 7 speed transmissions. To program
the gear positions, begin at a section of road where you can gradually shift through all of the gears. Press and hold the switch
while turning the key on and starting the engine. Once the engine is running, release the switch.

gear. The display should show
GEAR 1
and the “
