How to show what gear you are in?

[RS_Customs]

You could build a system of limit switches that are pushed when you shift into each gear. Those limit switches could feed a micro controller like a arduino that you could program to output the correct gear display on a display like the motorcycles use.

Sounds like it's easier to compare RPM to wheel speed instead of the switches.
I don't know much about electronics, but that's how most of the dash-systems calculate the gear (with standard road gearboxes)
