No current gear indicator on non-sport?

When was your '09 made (see sticker on left side door sill; top left corner of sticker)? Mine was born in June of '09.

i can check when i'm done at work in a couple hours.

mine says "D" in drive

the gear # in when placed in manual mode.

and if i pull a paddle while in "D" it'll then change to the gear # with a little "M" next to it.

My bad. It says "D" when in auto mode and which gear in manual mode. Sorry about that.

It would be nice to know what gear it's in when in auto.

well you could always just go by rpm sounds and count the shifts lol

thats one way to go about it

or just leave it in manual mode

i honestly cant tell you the last time i actually had it in regular auto mode. maybe when moving it a few feet out of the garage to wash it lol

It's not that big of a deal to me. Just seems kind of dumb for Nissan to not show it when all it would take is a little programming (no other hardware needed).

The longer I drive the Z the more I use manual mode. First car I've had that had an auto like the Z's. Still haven't gotten used to using the paddles; I end up bumping the stick.

i only use the paddles when drag racing or track driving or similar style where both hands need to be on the wheel.

normal everyday DD'ing and whatnot i use the stick. actually i have worn a smooth spot on the shift knob

one or two above what it should be at...

I'm always in manual mode because it wants to find the highest gear possible all the time and with modded exhaust system it just sounds bad...that and its more fun.
