Transmission slippage

[scudd]

My 2024 slips on the transmission when it’s cold outside and the machine is left outside in the cold. It doesn’t slip in reverse but when placed in drive. Also A warning message appears on the screen to place back in park.

Not saying this will necessarily resolve it, but have you taken it to the dealer to have the ECM/TCM updated to the latest tune that came out last October? Either way, I'd get it in to a dealer to be looked at soon, so if something is wrong it doesn't cause permanent damage to the trans.

This might be the first time I've ever heard of anyone talk about transmission slippage, warm or cold. Usually when you are told to "shift into Park" is when you let it idle in drive for too long without going. jj46 has good advice when he says to take it to the dealer to be looked at so you don't harm it.

Yes it’s like the belt is slipping. I normally keep it parked in a heated garage and I haven’t had any issues, but I left it outside a couple of times and it happened both times. Not sure if it need to warm up first? Once it engages it works fine

My buddy's machine did this and was low on fluid. Only when really cold though. Might be worth checking.

Thanks I will check that out

I have a 2025, it does it a lot more since they did the ECU update in January. Both of the 2 dealers I go to said I just need to let it warm up, so I usually let it run for about 6-8 minutes. Mine is in my attached garage, never gets below freezing, definitely worse if I have it in the outer garage.

Have you checked the transmission oil level as Tazman10 suggested? I haven’t gotten around to it yet but I will post my findings

It's unfortunate that the procedure to check trans fluid level is such a faff. You need half a quart of new fluid just to start the test.
