LNF NLS problems

ok so i have about 41000 miles on my car, never had any problems until recently, nothing major, but its something worth looking into

2009 LNF


go to no lift shift 2nd to 3rd gear and i keep getting locked out, no matter how fast or slow i do it, never lets me in, until recently never had any problems no lift shifting any gears, i dont do it very often but enough to know that its just not me missing the gear, so after it locks me out, when i slow down and try to down shift into 2nd gear, its extremely tough to get it into 2nd, i have to force it in and sometimes it pops out, now after a few minutes it goes in with no problems and doesnt even feel like there was every a problem at all, i dont understand it, ive done it in regular, traction off, and performance mode and never works, and when i used to do it, it would be under regular traction and never had any problems


has anyone expierenced this? and if so what do i do to correct it, also is the trans covered under the 100,000 powertrain warranty.

yup i experienced this. it means stop using NLS.

i kept getting locked out of 4th gear no matter how hard i tried to perform a NLS correctly. after a while, my clutch engagement went down to the floor and i had no gears.

turns out my pressure plate failed. got the clutch replaced, NLS works perfect. fast forward about 8 months and now im getting locked out of 3rd gear when i NLS.

no i just dont use NLS anymore.

honestly its only good for a tenth or two in the 1/4. or if you race someone whos just as fast as you with NLS and you dont use it, youd only fall back about a car or so.

im running a BNR now so im too scared to try using NLS anymore. lol.
