Look at the spacing of the numbers, it's similar to an automatic. The numbers on my manual go around more, think of it as a clock, my numbers go around to like 5:00, get it???

fuledya, I see what you're talking about. Man, that really sucks. When you hit redline according that that gauge, you're really just around 5500 rpm.

Sell it back on email!

I have those. I know the RPM spacing is different. for me it really isnt a big deal. Just realize that your redline is about at the end of those guages.

ProCarParts sent me a wrong part when I ordered eyelids. I emailed them and they called within a day. They sent me the correct part and mailed me a prepaid label to ship the oher part back to them. No extra costs for me. I was only out a little time.

Yeah, those came out when the 7th gen first came out. Some idiot took the automatic's guages and made both a manual and an automatice version based just off of those. Bleh.
