Every now and then it slips on take off. but I don't think the transmission is out because only does it every now and then. but that's the only gear it runs strong and I love it. just worried about i.t any idea what it could be?

Hey COLLIN TOWNSEND,

Have you checked the transmission fluid level/condition?

I have attached instructions below.

If the level is low visually check the transmission for leaks.

If the fluid is not clean and it has not had a transmission service to your knowledge you will need to change the transmission fluid and filter.

If you have not done so these are the first steps.

After this if the fault still present please scan the vehicle for codes and then see where the issue may lie.

Hope this helps.

Regards, Joe
