mine doesn't work anymore. i can put it over in the tip mode and go up and down all i want and nothing. tranny is perfect and shifts flawlessly, but i don't have the tip option anymore. i think i might have slammed it over or back too hard one day because it worked perfectly
There are little magnets that are used to tell the transmission when you are in tip mode and that you are shifting. It is a common problem that the little magnet(s) fell out. Do a search for it and I bet you will find info on taking it apart and fixing it.

i had same problem, but since i change all that part with magnets, everything works great !!
Whole change took around 30 min. I get it from EU by 50$ (approx.)
Be carefull when remove shift knob. I did it wrong and that took me nex 30 min. to repair it
"Use soemthing like a paper clip or blade fuse to wedge in the groove on the bottom of the knob's button so it does not retract into the knob. If you don't do that, it is a PITA to get back out!"
I didn't use any "paper clip" and that make me big problem to put one small spring back.
this is a hair above my level of comfort to do myself. thank you guys for the responses but i think i'm gonna have just an "automatic" for quite a while LOL...
