Listen to the engine. if it sounds like its working too hard, or if the accelerator pedal is really sensitive, its time to shift. If its bogging down, its time to downshift.

If it's the one I'm thinking of, it is the Shift Indicator. It tells you when your RPM's are such that you should shift gears for optimal fuel mileage.
What does a shift light tachometer gauge do?
it has a light that comes on to tell you when to change gears in a manual car, really just for show and the light can be adjusted to come on at whatever rpm you desire as long as the car can rev as high as it is set before the revs stall. in reality you change gears by ear and not even by looking at the taco let alone a light.

If it has external gears you can't. They have to have the chain moving tp be able to shift. At best you can lift the rear wheel of the floor/ground, spin the crank, and change the gears. Remember to avoid cross chaining.
