So i have had my ford for just over a year now and i've noticed whenever the keys are in the ignition and twisted so the electrics are on or when the car is started on the the Rev meter the little shift arrow appears and goes, thats not the issue though!

The question is ive never actually seen it appear while driving!

And i have pushed the car to points you would assume it would advise me to shift.

Is this common or does anyone else have the same on theres?

    from other posts in the forum I believe it lights up when you hit the red line (or close to it) , then again I could be wrong.
