Shift light on an AT7?

dangen1980 · 09-28-2011, 03:57 PM

Thanks. Just wanted to know since the indicator Circle is in the tach. There has to be a way to make it work

I have been trying to find out the same thing

js1 · 10-06-2011, 02:58 PM

Does anyone have any other info on this?

Hmmm

emailed UpRev about this and they said it's controlled by the BCU and they only have control over the ECM.

looking at Nissan's part site it seems that since 9/2010 this part has been updated. Same pat number 23714-1EA0A. It's only like $45. Wonder if a simple swap would work assuming we have the light in the dash? i think the shift light is very much needed

looks like the speedo assembly was updated as well to part 24820-1TG5A. if that is needed, it'd be too costly to do.

This has been kicked around for some time. I would like a shift light as well and it is a shame that the factory didn't include this feature. After a little research I determined that the easiest and best solution is an aftermarket shift light. Such a light is readily available for under $200, is larger and brighter than the factory light, fully adjustable for RPM and can be placed in almost any location that the driver desires as opposed to the less than optimal factory location in the dash cluster. Just my opinion.

Does anyone know what the default RPM red light indicator is set at from factory on the 7AT?

im glad I am not the only one who has not gotten the feel for paddle shifting the 7at yet.

I am in a 2011, and next time im driving, ill look for the light... Never noticed if it was there or not lol

I used to tell people that you have to learn to manually shift the autos and everyone thought I was crazy. Once I learned I found out they kick a**. I loved my 7at in the Z. Mine had a shift light, at least it told you when you were close to redline. You really need to shift just before that light comes on. Once the light is on you're too late.

My shifter light came on today when I gave it some beans in D mode. I didnt think in normal D mode it would rev that high, but albeit I was wrong.

I have a 2011 7AT touring sport + nav and I'm pretty sure I can set a shift light on the left hand pod. However, my 2010 Z 7AT base + sport did not have that feature.

Is this feature only 2011 and up or is the problem that was discontinued after 2011?
