I don't always downshift one gear at a time. Sometimes I coast to a red light with the clutch in And downshift through all the gears to first. But sometimes with the clutch in, The gear indicator on the instrument panel will go from indicating whatever gear I was in to just showing a dash line (-) and I can't get down to a lower gear without letting the clutch out a little and then starting over with the downshift.
Is anyone else noticing a similar problem?
My '13 does this on occasion. I've noticed that it mostly happens when I'm coasting (with the clutch lever pulled in) up an off ramp toward a stop. If I start downshifting while I'm still moving at a decent clip, no problem. If I try to go from 5th to 1st below 15 mph or so, I sometimes get only to third and have to let the clutch out to the friction point to keep going.
