2012 R58 JCW Shifting problem after manic tune

Hello all,

I'm having a problem shifting up while under load after manic stage 2 tune. One of two things happen, the shifter either feels heavy while engaging, or it wont go into gear at all (locked out). I've had this happen in every gear and only under heavy acceleration. I don't know if this could be self inflicted by shifting too slow or before the clutch fully disengages. Will try double clutching when I get a chance. Has anyone experience this? or does anyone have an idea of what the issue might be? Thanks in advance!

Have an R58 JCW also, I would check the reservoir fluid and also check the slave cylinder first. If you have a leak or for some reason bled or flushed the system and still have air.

Thanks for the advise! The reservoir is full and I physically inspected the slave cylinder and did not show sings of leaking. Ordered some ATE brake fluid to bleed the slave cylinder...figure it wont hurt to do so.
