Hey everyone, a couple months ago my FX50 2013 started having the famous valve body issues, I got it replaced then I noticed how it didn't have the DS mode showing up on the cluster when moving the shifter to the left, it only shows whatever gear it is at.

When driving on regular D going between 70-85mph or when I try to push it, it seems to get stuck on 7th gear and rmps just go up, I would have to pull over turn ignition off then back on and it would go back to normal. For that reason I've been avoiding 7th gear by driving on manual, whenever I move the shifter to the left, I'm able to switch gears on manual mode but if I try to get to 7th gear, same issue reoccurs as well. So all this time I've been driving on manual mode and I just avoid 7th gear at all cost, and again, no DS mode showing up when movig the shifter to the left side, just straight to the gear numbers on the cluster...


Any ideas!? Maybe it was reprogramed with a wrong version when they switched the valve body? Another defective valve body? What you guys think...
 
Did a dealership do the work, or an independent shop? Sounds like they didn't reprogram things correctly after installing the new VB. Hopefully it's that simple, and not a matter of an incorrect or faulty VB. Take it back to whoever did the work and tell them to fix it.
