If not, perhaps one or both of these switches are not actuating properly resulting in a confused computer.

I didn't change the settings on either of the switches, so that is most likely it. I'm going to get back under there tomorrow and take a closer look at everything and see if I can get this worked out.

I'm hoping the light will clear itself rather than having to take the car back to the dealership.

Out of the many different aspects of clutch and transmission operation mentioned here, one caught my eye and that is the clunkiness of the 1-2 shift than some people have experienced. For me, the best way to get a smooth shift every time is to double-clutch. As a matter of routine I double-clutch all of my up and down shifts involving gears 1 through 4 and I get quiet, smooth shifts every time. A little more work, but well worth it for me!. As always, YMMV.

I do that and also, heavier shift knob helped 'unbelievably' much... it is really strange how much better the shifting is with a heavy shift knob, stupid good.
