Stickey tiptronic lever (01 CL-S)

Hi there,

Upshifts and downshifts feel stickey in tiptronic mode. I've tried spraying a bit of WD-40 down there to loosen things up a bit, but to no avail it still feels like crap.

Any ideas?

Thanks very much!

If it's that bad, I'd take the center console apart and clean it all out down there. It's probably got Coke or something spilled in there from a previous owner if you aren't the 1st one.

blk2001tlon19s,

It definitely got worse with it cold outside.


chriskh,

Do you know how to take the console apart? I don't have a shop manual for this car! Should probably pick one up!



Thanks again,

-Kris

^^ Not off hand but if you do a search in 2nd Gen for console removal or something similar, I've read it's really simple.
