Default 2019 7 SPD Z06 - Gear Slipped Message - Help!!

I have a 2019 Z 7 SPD, 5000 Miles
I changed clutch fluid and a new battery along with other fluid changes
Got a message on my dash when driving in Touring Mode- Gear Slipped?
What is this?
How to fix?


I did feel a slight grind between first and second earlier to this
I thought this was my fault, however I now think it might be connected?

Thoughts on both??

did it happen right when you had the grind or you just got the message later?

that's a bizarre one, it's not like a gear can even slip

Grind happened earlier
the message for “gear slipped” appeared on the dashboard
reading on line it says it could be a sensor in the transmission, expensive to fix

My feedback is the same here as in the Z06 forum...

I've never seen or heard of the former, but the latter is normal behavior for our cars' Computer Aided Gear Selection (CAGS) system. (It's mentioned on Pg 18 of my 2019 Owner's Manual.)

It will be great if that message could be customized.... like, "hold it! Hold it!"

LOL - I think Norton has solved the problem.

The skip shift rarely activates - only when accelerating slowly in traffic. I see it less than once a year. Just accelerate a bit more or shift into 4th gear. If it happens a lot install a skip shift (CAGS) bypass - you will get the message but have no restriction on gear selection.
