Troubleshooting

Proper shift light operation requires a good ground and securely connected wiring. If you are having trouble, double-check your

ground and be certain that you have 12 volt power. Be sure you have followed the wiring diagram instructions above. We

recommend you avoid crimp connectors and solder all connections if possible. Soldering your connections will minimize any

loose connections that may cause problems.

— WARNING —

ATTACH ONLY TO TACH TERMINAL. Warranty will be void if connected to coil on MSD ignitions. You must check with the

engine manufacturer for recommended safe shift points PRIOR to setting your shift point on this shift light.

Failure to comply with this may lead to over-revving of your engine and may cause serious damage to your engine.

Mounting

The versatile shift light base design permits many mounting possibilities, using ordinary

machine screws. In some cases mounting with a hose clamp may be preferred.

This shift light is equipped with a rubber lined shock mounting ring: therefore, proper

installation demands that nothing should touch the housing or the mounting ring.

Mounting the shift light on the dashboard, where windshield clearance could be a problem,

is permitted by the extra length on the mounting bracket.

This document describes the Proform High Performance Adjustable RPM Shift Light, a device designed to assist drivers in achieving optimal shift points for their engine.

Function Description:

The Proform Shift Light is an adjustable RPM-activated light that illuminates when the engine reaches a pre-set RPM, signaling the driver to shift gears. This helps ensure consistent and accurate shifts, which can improve performance and prevent engine over-revving. The device is compatible with various engine types, including 4, 6, and 8 cylinders, and can be used with both standard and electronic ignition systems.

Important Technical Specifications:

Dimensions: The shift light measures 5 inches long and 1.5 inches high. The mounting bracket extends to 2.75 inches high.
Power Requirement: The device operates on a 12V ignition switch (+) and requires a good engine ground.
Cylinder Compatibility:
- 8 CYL: No adjustment is necessary.
- 6 CYL: Clip the BROWN wire loop only.
- 4 CYL: Clip both the BROWN and ORANGE wire loops.
- (Note: Insulate any cut wires with electrical tape.)
Ignition Compatibility:
- Standard Ignition: The GREEN wire attaches to the coil negative (-).
- Electronic Ignition (GM, HEI, MSD): The GREEN wire connects to the tach terminal.
Mounting: The shift light features a versatile base design that permits various mounting possibilities using ordinary machine screws or a hose clamp. It is equipped with a rubber-lined shock mounting ring, which requires that nothing touch the housing or the mounting ring for proper installation. The extra length of the mounting bracket allows for dashboard mounting even with windshield clearance concerns.

Usage Features:

Adjustable RPM: The shift light allows the user to set a specific RPM at which the light will activate, providing a visual cue for optimal shifting.
Wiring Diagram: Clear instructions and a diagram are provided for connecting the shift light to the vehicle's electrical system, including connections for 12V power, ground, and the tachometer signal.
Troubleshooting Guide: The manual includes troubleshooting tips, emphasizing the importance of a good ground, secure connections, and proper 12V power. It recommends soldering connections to minimize loose connections.
Late-Model Installation Tips: A comprehensive list of application-specific wiring instructions is provided for various GM, Ford, and Chrysler vehicles, as well as Sport Import applications (Honda and Acura). This includes details on where to locate specific wires and connectors (e.g., PCM, ICM, distributor, coil pack) for different engine types and model years.
Safety Warning: A critical warning advises users to attach the device ONLY to the tach terminal, stating that the warranty will be void if connected to the coil on MSD ignitions. It also stresses the importance of checking with the engine manufacturer for recommended safe shift points PRIOR to setting the shift point on the light, as failure to do so may lead to engine over-revving and serious damage.

Maintenance Features:

No explicit maintenance procedures are detailed beyond ensuring proper installation and secure wiring. The focus is on correct initial setup to ensure reliable operation.
Warranty Information: A limited warranty is provided by Specialty Auto Parts U.S.A., Inc., covering material or manufacturing defects for parts returned within 30 days of purchase with a sales slip, original packaging, and an authorized Return Merchandise Authorization (RMA) number. The warranty explicitly excludes parts used in racing applications, physically or mechanically altered parts, improperly installed or maintained parts, or parts used in improper applications. It also disclaims responsibility for incidental, consequential, property, or personal injury damages.

The Proform Shift Light is designed to be a performance-enhancing tool, providing a clear visual indicator for precise gear shifts, while also emphasizing the importance of correct installation and adherence to safety guidelines to protect the engine.
