A number of inquiries, have been received from customers and Dealer Service personnel concerning the omission of a transmission "Shift Indicator
Light" on some 1983 vehicles equipped with manual transmissions. Contrary to published 1983 Owners Guides (Figure 7), some vehicles are not
equipped with a functioning transmission shift indicator light. Vehicles which are supposed to have a functioning light are determined by the calibration
of the engine installed in the vehicle. In the other cases, the light will be installed in the instrument panel, but not connected. Again, this has been done
purposely.
