Last summer, I had the transmission fluid and filter replaced at 100k at the dealer (actually have had very good service from them), and since then the transmission randomly doesn’t shift from D to R easily. It will sometimes show yellow on the display until I give the shifter a little tap upwards, then it will engage. This usually happens when transmission is warmed up not cold. Fluid level is good and doesn’t smell burned. I usually pull a 27’ ultra lite 5th wheel 4-5 times/yr. And haven’t had any problems with the tranny.
Is this an indication of it going out? Am I missing something?
Thanks for your knowledge and experience.

This makes it sound like there is some slop or alignment issue in the shifter linkage.
