I'm sure it's doable. I'm just curious it's not already done, by even
Honda itself. After all, they give you a tach -- good ol' American
cars with automatics didn't even give you that. And they supply
sport-shifts in the Acura line, though just who uses them is unclear
to me. Well, maybe I'll get ambitious and find that wiring diagram,
monitor the signals, see if there's an unambiguous algorithm that
counts up and down clearly. I've barely opened the hood of my three
Honda automobiles to date -- never had to, knock on wood!
