    Have you taken it to a dealer to have it looked at? Being a 2015 should still be under warranty and transmission issues are covered in the powertrain warranty.

    I was hoping that Dodge had fixed the bloody Tremec's by 2015. There are links all over the internet about how crappy the Tremec's are/were. Definitely take it to Dodge and site Star case # S1021000004 or K38556860. Those were the numbers for the "voluntary" recall for the earlier Challengers. I bought mine used with a 3rd party warranty and ended up paying over 5k to get mine fixed last year.

    Dodge Star Case # S1021000004 or K38556860

    Vehicle Issue Trans is hard to shift into gear.
    Year 2009
    Model LC - CHALLENGER
    Engine 6.1L SRT HEMI (SMPI) V8, 5.7L HEMI VCT, 5.7L HEMI VCT
    MDS (EZD)
    System or Component;Gear
    Driver Input / Vehicle Operation; Shifting

    Case Verification; Vehicle affected is the LC Challenger equipped with a manual
    transmission. It may be difficult to shift in and out of gear.

    Recommendation ;Repair this condition by removing the transmission, cleaning the
    transmission input shaft splines and the clutch hub splines, regreasing,
    and putting all the same parts back together. No parts need to be replaced because clutch disc wear or shaft/hub spline wear are not contributing factors.
    The clutch should be removed from the flywheel to properly clean
    the clutch splines, because it is not possible to thoroughly clean
    the clutch splines otherwise. Do not use harsh spray solvents
    (brake clean, etc.) on the clutch discs... care must be taken to
    keep cleaning solvents away from the clutch friction material.
    Mineral spirits or similar will get the job done. Both of the clutch
    hub splines and transmission input shaft splines must be
    carefully cleaned. When applying the grease for reassembly, the
    entire exposed length of the clutch hub splines (both discs) and
    the entire length of the input shaft should be lightly coated with
    the P/N 05083150AA grease, spread evenly on all splines
    without excess. The flywheel does not need to be removed for
    this repair. New clutch pressure plate to flywheel bolts P/N
    06508880AA (quantity 6) must be used.
