It's kind of useless, but neat at the same time.

Its neat but completely unecessary. Just like some of the Youtube comments said, any decent manual driver wouldn't be looking down at the shifter to know what gear you're in.

I agree with all of you. It's neat, but wouldn't be needed, would get annoying, and I would never buy it. More just something to show people who know nothing about cars so they say, "WOW!"

Lame, shouldn't need a set of numbers to tell you what gear you're in with a standard transmission. Sequential transmission I'd understand.

If you need a gadget to tell you what gear you're in you suck as a driver and should go get an AMC Pacer automatic.

AMC Pacer. I forgot you're too young to have ver seen one. Picture a goldfish bowl on wheels with about 85 horsepower.

I know some fresh class 1 drivers I work with that could use this. Average conversation goes like:

"What gear am I in?"
"Well seeing as you're doing 110km/h I'd hope to God you're in 10th. Pull over, I'm driving."
