When was the last time it had the fluid and filter changed?? Ideally it should be done every 15-20,000 miles....more if its driven in a hard environment (mostly city driving)

It could also be a bowden cable adjustment problem.

How many miles on it?

And welcome to the forums! Ideally you should have posted this in the "Tech" section.
