fletcher969 Posted October 31 Report Share Posted October 31 (edited) Hi all, 2.0L, 8F35 transmission Vehicle is new to us, and we hadn't yet played with Sport Mode. Yesterday I decided to give it a whirl, and I noticed that at times, seemingly randomly, whenever I would press the + paddle, the gear indicator would flash, and the transmission wouldn't shift. I read in the manual about condition-based gear unavailability, but these occurred during easy or normal acceleration and say for example 2500-3000 RPMs when I would expect it to shift without adverse RPMs resulting. No particular gear seemed to be implicated, although I would say it happened more often in 4-7. Any particular reason why this would happen?

Biker Posted Friday at 04:58 PM Report Share Posted Friday at 04:58 PM This may or may not be helpful, but with my 2019, I have to press the "s" in the center of the gear selector in order to engage sport mode. Mine then won't shift on its own, I have to use the paddles. I can control the up and down shifts with the paddles when not in sport mode without the car switching to sport mode. But it won't make a shift I command if proper conditions are not met. When it decides conditions are not met, the gear indicator light will flash. I don't use sport mode after I first tried it. I expected it to blow my hat off and it did not. This made me sad, which is now what the S stands for. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
