gear indicator

juergenacker

For the last week or so when I go into 1st gear the indicator goes blank.
All of a sudden it shows 1st again till I drive for a while and once again go into 1st and it's gone again.
When 1st goes blank all other gears and N will show.
There is no pattern it comes and goes

ANY IDEAS Sad

Maybe the gear position sensor is not tight or out of adjustment.

Lefty

warranty work.

Hi, sorry for my english.

I have the same problem exactly. The sensor doesn't need adjustement. The problem is the chain grease obstructs the sensor is most cases. I have guarantee. I asked a new in workshop

If I remember correctly the GP (gear position) sensor is located behind the clutch assembly...basically in an oil bath! I don't think chain grease is the problem. There is a sensor that sits just outside of the drive sprocket (counter-sprocket) but I think it is the speed sensor.

I'd check the sensor connector (under tank, left side) first. If under warranty...I agree with taking it to the dealer.
