All manual transmission cars sold in the USA must have an upshift light. This is a government regulation. So complain to your congressman ;-). I believe that if the car manufacturer wants to get the EPA to test the car for a gas mileage figure, the car must have a shift light, and the test shifts exactly at the specified upshift points.
My mechanic also said that he wouldn't disengage it. Says it is illegal to do so, which is pretty much bunk. But sometimes I find that I'm doing 80 on the NJPike and look down to see the upshift light on. "I'm still in fourth? Oh, thanks!"
