transmission

[JasonAM]

Hello everybody. I have a 2012 RSS SE5. At times when I up shift It won't shift to next gear then a message will appear on the dash saying "check transmission"then if I hit shift again it will shift then. I hope it's a problem that can be remedied by adjustments.

Lets get the obvious question out of the way first. Have you checked your oil level?

1. Oil level. If it is above the add line OK.
2. When was the last time you changed the oil. Is the oil old? Is the filter plugged?
3. Is the shift lever loose. Item 46 in the following picture. Located behind the tupperware, just in front of the left foot peg.

try changing your shifting times..the hold and release or tapping...otherwise it could be a gear position sensor problem...

I checked the oil level, was just a bit low added a bit. The last time I changed the oil was last summer it was thebreak-in oil change. But even since then as of right now I only have 2300 miles on it. According to maintenance schedule I don't need a fluid change till 4600 miles. So is my oil considered old then if it's roughly a year old?

Oil changes are usually done once a year at a minimum even if you haven't covered the mileage. The should be a recommendation in your manual.
