Sometimes Ending Up Between Gears With Gear Indicator Line Blinking

[apex1_imp]

I also have a 2017 EX and have the same thing happen. Often I am back into 1st gear after downshifting but I still have the blinking line. I have learned that as soon as I start to let the clutch lever out the "1" pops up on the screen. My guess is that whatever mechanism in the gearbox detects the gear for purposes of the indicator just needs a small bit of load on the gears or shaft for things to line up so it can read the gear I'm in, which would be first gear. It happens all the time on my 2017 when I stop in second gear and then shift through neutral into first. If I shift into neutral from second at a stop and then let the clutch out before pulling the clutch back in and shifting into first, it will not do this. It is not because I am between gears or because I have failed to shift deliberately. In my case it is just the way the gear indicator mechanism works.
