Blinking Gear Indicator

Anyone else noticing their gear indicator in the instrument cluster blinking?

Happens randomly, it's not from the shifting of gears, or the " suggested gear".

Edit... "One ping only"

Meaning, it's a single blink here and there, not constant blinking.

"Damn, the periscope range finder is sticking. A single ping, comrade. Just one for range."

The book was way better than the movie.

Could it be the traction symbol blinking? It happens every once in a while, even if I just go over a small bump or some uneven road if traction control is fully on.

Nope.

That was my 1st guess, till I started paying attention. I caught it red handed.

Aaaahhhhh, good. Just stage 1 though.

That's kinda what I was thinking it was, or the valve module for some reason.
