    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Shift Indicator help!

I recently replaced my stock cluster to one off a 78 550L. My old cluster used individual lights/LEDs to indicat the gear. The new/older cluster has a DIGITAL indicator. Everything plugs up nice and worked properly ONCE (4 months ago). Fast forward to a few days ago, I noticed that the indicator was cracked and the display showed 8. Have a replacement and still shows 8. Though it might be a bad ground; grounded right to frame and still the same thing. What am I doin wrong???

Looks like all the leds are powered at the same time.
Down by the countershaft is the rotary switch that turns on each gear light. As the shift drum rotates, a spring loaded "pin" grounds each indiviual segment, turning on the selected gear light. Somewhere the whole thing is going to ground, lighting up all the LEDs
 
AF_Bill have you ever fixed this problem? i have the same thing and its just killing me knowing that it worked before...
