Hiya folks. Does anybody know of a good way to detect shift points on a E100 series Toyota Corolla? Mine is a 3-spd, (A131L transmission) but the damn thing shifts so smooth I can't tell when I'm in third, and I can't tell what RPM I'm at to try to guestimate what my highway speed should be. And please don't tell me to buy a Scangauge II or something. I paid $150 for the entire car, which I bought to save money, and $150 is a lot of fuel in such a small car (over 1666 miles at current gas prices and my current tank average with the few mods I've done). Thanks for your input.
