[master1309]

i get a check engine/check transmission after riding about 50 feet and somtimes she will not shift up/down.Could the linkage cause this? Oil level correct as well as properly rated for this bike. Has anyone had to replace the paddle shifter? And can I DIY? Thank you for your help.ray:

 

[coz]

several

i've heard of several shifter buttons being replaced. not a common problem, but not unheard of. they do fail occasionally. there is also a related sensor that can fail. the shifter buttons are not cheap. i would get a diagnosis before buying any parts. check to make sure the shifter arm is not loose.

I had to have my paddle shifter replaced on the 2010 RSS. It had the symptoms you describe. Mine was under warranty but I know it is not a cheap fix. There might be someone here who has done it though. Best of luck.
