That makes a lot of sense.

Is there any chance that a TSR-like program could be written that intercepts the data right before it is written to the log and changes it? I'm sure there's got to be very little memory to play with in there, but maybe a super tiny assembly app could do the trick?

Of course, there's still the issue of starting the app up in the first place...

That would be tricky, as you would need a piggyback PCB to mount in place of the tiny 8 pin surface mount EEPROM. It also wouldn't help with displaying the info, since once the car starts moving the cluster processes the raw data from the tranny sensor, displays the data, and then occasionally sends a backup copy of it out to the EEPROM.
