Celica Forums General Discussion Exterior reverse gauges automatic

here i am with my trade mark again-i was wondering for anyone that has an automatic not sure if manuals have this-the aftermarket gauges i see never leave a space open for the gear indicator thats on out stock gauges and i like that feature to see what gear it says i'm in-do any companies make them with that space open? i would rather keep my stock ones ad do the led thing with blue lights but i hate soldering i have to do it with my kickers all the time and plus i dont have a lot of money and cant aford to mess that up but if i knew a shop that could do that for me it would be cool any helpful info would be appreciated

mine shows up I have an auto. When you look at the pictures if it has that space open on gauge. Your lcd screen will show through it. I will PM you a pic of mine when I get home and show you what I mean.

You will NOT have a problem

what you are thinking about is the SPORT-SHIFT in the MAN-U-MATIC GTS... but always, the gear-display for AUTOMATICS and MANUALS will be displayed without problems


GTS With Sport-shift... installed with gauges - in which you could easily cut with an exacto blade

darn beat me to it.

here is what mine looks like

man i totally forgot i got those numbers there
i guess i got use to not seeing them i can tell what gear iam on by ear

thats cool so even though none of them come with a cut out it is ok to cut it out i wasnt sure how the gauges worked weather cutting them would hrm them-thanks everyone for the info

what cutout are you talking about? i dont think its a good idea to cut anything off the overlay.

i am talking about a cut out like the picture above to the the gears changing i like that feature

But are you able to see the "A/T oil temps" warning led... with it ???

or you have to cut that too ???

SSCarbonGTS, look at the pictures posted at the top of this thread

Sorry, I was talking about this on the pics below...
I don't see it on the pics on the top of this thread...

explain me

Wow - I didn't even know we had that in our cars... the light never comes on in the 2001 when all the other lights are on during the system-check at ignition...

is that there for all models or just the recent ones... or is even there at all, and not just filling an empty gap on that particular make gauge

and it definitly not there on some of their (RJ Autoworks) older gauges either...

Could it just be a AUTOMATIC TRANS GTS (SPORTSHIFT) Feature ***ONLY***

^^^could be, because if we shift it manualy with sportshift, the tranny gets hot pretty quick i believe. the light is there to warn u~

^^^hmmmmm really???? i gues i would never know since mine is covered

I'm thinking that it's not a feature on GTS auto only but on GT and GTS auto...

Anyone can post a pics of the original GT auto gauge cluster ???

I saw in the owner manuel that the "M" will start to blink and then you have to switch in normal automatic mode...

i posted pictures already

now we are going around in circles

my bad !!

thanks for the input but that one pic that had the cutouts for m mode was that originally there if so who makes it
