Default Intermitten shift lights...

2015 z06... always in track mode, but the shift lights only show up randomly. On the hud and on the cluster. Seems odd.

Is there a fix for this?

Assuming you aren't changing the HUD or DIC settings, the only thing I can think of is that the shift lights occur at different RPM based on engine temperature. You'll see them more often when the engine is cold since the red-line RPM is much lower than when hot.

So you're shifting at 6k+ RPM and you don't see shift indicators? They won't come on until you reach higher RPMs.

when you say "show up" do you mean "light up" or "exist at all, even grey, like in the picture" ?

because they only light up as you approach redline. with the lower redline before you're at operating temperature, they will light up earlier.

but they should always be there, at least grey, on the DIC. the HUD they only show up when they are "lit"
