Has anyone developed a gear position indicator with the dashbox? I know for the holley dashes, the ticket is to take a suspension ride height sensor and create a indicator that triggers off voltage. I assume the same could be done here?

To my understanding, SPLeinonen DashBox has some analog inputs, so it should be possible. I recommend that you contact SPLeinonen directly for wiring/hardware instructions.

I never updated this. For anyone that is interested. I used a suspension height sensor. (0-5v pot basically) I simply mounted it to a spare boss on the side of my transmission and made a link to connect it’s arm to the shifter linkage. I added the sensor in Dashbox and used a moving dot to indicate the gear based on voltage. Then simply placed a text gauge with PRND321 below it.
