Yeah, disconnect the damn shift light! 
	Unless of course you like it, in which case you'll have to ask someone
else... but I personally found my shift light to be quite intrusive- every
time I was over 2000rpm with less than 1/2 throttle, the little yellow
light was blaring in my face.
	The quick and easy way to do it is to yank the relay.  It's the one just
to the right of the door buzzer relay.
