Hey all! My transmission has recently become pretty notchy between all gears on my 21k mile 2015 EB PP. While I think changing the transmission fluid to Royal Purple or something may help, is it worth taking it in to have the dealer look at it? Or should I just change the fluid myself? Also, if I do change the fluid myself and it doesn't fix the problem, can the dealer then say it was my fault? Thanks for the response!

So far I have driven 2 other EBs besides mine and all the transmissions have been very notchy.

If you are worried about it take it to the dealer before doing anything on your own. They will try to weasel their way out of any warranty work.

I have heard many people saying that the stock fluid is trash and changing it out greatly improved the quality of the shifting feel. So I would do that after you take it to the dealership.
