I have a 2014 700-2 with about 12,000 miles. Have just started having a few issues. Had a rattle in the chain in the engine found the chain tensioner bad and replaced it. Just be fore I replaced it was having a little power issue which I assume is because the tensioner was shot and held no pressure at all and began to have shifting issues. Now that I have the chain tight I have really bad shifting issues. Machine shifts fine until it gets warmed up good. You can be clicking along at 35 mph and it will just downshift into second which barks the tires and nearly throws you through the windshield. Once it starts into that it will eventually drop you to first and will not shift up until it cools down. changed the oil with tensioner so within the last 10 miles. I do have a service light on in the dash which has been on as long as I can remember which I just assumed is because it's never been to the dealership. This vehicle is used daily on the farm and is not run hard at all. Transmission does not slip just wondering if anyone would have some advice. something is telling me a sensor somewhere is bad (oil pressure)?

sorry I don't know on the trans but the periodic service light(steady wrench) is shut off by holding the button down when you turn on the key, sound like that different than the engine codes that flash or whatever if you have a problem

kinda sounds like a selenoid is bad. probably sticking open after warm up.
