Your Gear Position Sensor is malfunctioning.

Well..!!

assuming it is a semi automatic (they usually have this going on) it could be soft shifting. The paddles have to be bumped solid if to soft the delay causes the computer to think it is a gear position problem. Usually will clear with the key walk. If it continues it may be the gear position sensor that has gone bad. The other quick check is that the shift arm on the shift shaft pinch bolt is tight. If it already cleared you should keep an eye on it. :thumbup:

:agree: Quick shifting or unsure (to gentle) shifting will sometimes bring on the E. If it goes away, you are probably ok. If the problem persists the dealer should have a look at it.

5 SPEED MANUAL WAS READING 5TH GEAR BEFORE E WHILE CRUISING N AND R WERE ALTERNATELY FLASHING ON THE WAY HOME AS WELL

Gear position sensor malfunction. The original poster said the N and R were flashing as well as the E.

THIS ISSUE

Don't get too nervous, I had this thing go on for a couple of YEARS before the Gear Position Sensor finally gave up.......Never did get the LIMP MODE just the occasional error screens....................It is on it's way out tho......Mike :thumbup:................PS you can clear it by removing the KEY and taking the Key away from the Spyder for 10 minutes ,,,,,,,
