The only problem I see with a shift light in the GN is the TH200-4R trans
is slow to respond to the manual shifter...  I had a $2500.00 Mike Kurtz
top-of the line racing trans in mine, and in 2, D or OD it would shift by
itself between 5000 and 5100... If I held it in low and popped it in to 2nd
at 5000, it would wait until almost 5600 before it shifted.  Waiting till
5500 and it would hit the rev limiter and bounce off it once or twice
before it shifted.  Mike said the TH200-4R was a great trans, but the
hydraulics were a bit slow even after the mods.
Now a really built GN with a TH400 or a powerglide, it would probably be a
great item, but by the time anyone went to a 'glide or TH400 they were
probably at the power level that the stock ECM was long gone
