Hi, problem with tip mode..
Hi, I have noticed that recently while in tip mode, it doesn't want to shift, I have to push it harder than before to get it into gears..What could be the problem? Low transmission fluid? The weather is too cold??
Thanks.

it is an hour/two job to complete,
You need to remove the radio console to gain access to shifter chrome plate.. as shown on picture below, I don't have instruction written on this procedure but I will try to post them tommorrow..

then when you flip it there are couple clips to loose so you can gain access to this little board

then use dry cloth to clean the contacts and bent back a bit the metal clips that contact the main board and then put back all the stuff in reverse..
