CSS Transition does not apply to background

my problem is weird but simple. I got a div with a class navbaritem and for some reason the transition-rule applies to the margin but not to the background.

Here's the HTML and CSS 

* {
    font-family: Raleway, Century Gothic;
}

body {
    margin: 0px;
}

a {
    text-decoration: none;
    color: #fff;
}

header > ul > li {
    margin-bottom: 5vh;
}

.navbaritem {
    position: absolute;
    width: 30vw;
    height: 6vh;
    margin-left: -8vw;
    -webkit-transform: skew(-30deg);
    -moz-transform: skew(-30deg);
    -o-transform: skew(-30deg);
    
    background: rgb(245,246,246);
    background: -moz-linear-gradient(top,  rgba(245,246,246,1) 0%, rgba(219,220,226,1) 21%, rgba(184,186,198,1) 49%, rgba(221,223,227,1) 80%, rgba(245,246,246,1) 100%);
    background: -webkit-linear-gradient(top,  rgba(245,246,246,1) 0%,rgba(219,220,226,1) 21%,rgba(184,186,198,1) 49%,rgba(221,223,227,1) 80%,rgba(245,246,246,1) 100%);
    background: linear-gradient(to bottom,  rgba(245,246,246,1) 0%,rgba(219,220,226,1) 21%,rgba(184,186,198,1) 49%,rgba(221,223,227,1) 80%,rgba(245,246,246,1) 100%);
    filter: progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.gradient( startColorstr='#f5f6f6', endColorstr='#f5f6f6',GradientType=0);
    
    transition: 0.4s ease;
}

.navbaritem:hover {
    margin-left: -3vw;
    transition: 0.4s ease;
}

.navbaritem > a {
    height: 80%;
    margin-top: 1%;
    margin-left: -10%;
    width: 90%;
    background: url(../img/graystripes.jpg);
    box-shadow: inset 3vh 1vh 3vh #000;
    -webkit-transform: skew(30deg);
    -moz-transform: skew(30deg);
    -o-transform: skew(30deg);
    position: absolute;
    text-align: center;
    font-size: 4vh;
}


.navbaritem:hover {
    transition: 0.4s ease;
    
    background: rgb(255,0,0);
    background: -moz-linear-gradient(top,  rgba(255,0,0,1) 0%, rgba(247,0,0,1) 21%, rgba(137,0,0,1) 49%, rgba(247,0,0,1) 80%, rgba(255,0,0,1) 100%);
    background: -webkit-linear-gradient(top,  rgba(255,0,0,1) 0%,rgba(247,0,0,1) 21%,rgba(137,0,0,1) 49%,rgba(247,0,0,1) 80%,rgba(255,0,0,1) 100%);
    background: linear-gradient(to bottom,  rgba(255,0,0,1) 0%,rgba(247,0,0,1) 21%,rgba(137,0,0,1) 49%,rgba(247,0,0,1) 80%,rgba(255,0,0,1) 100%);
    filter: progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.gradient( startColorstr='#ff0000', endColorstr='#ff0000',GradientType=0);
}

.navbaritem > i {
    font-size: 5vh;
    color: #444;
    margin-top: 1%;
    margin-left: 85%;
    
    -webkit-transform: skew(30deg);
    -moz-transform: skew(30deg);
    -o-transform: skew(30deg);

As far as I am concerned you can't transition gradients. One approach would be to use 2 elements at the exact same position and apply your 2 different gradients, respectively. Then give one element an opacity of 1 (The one with the gradient you want to show by default) and then fade the opacity of that element to 0 and the other to 1 when hovered. However I wouldn't recommend this.

EDIT I found a workaround here: Use CSS3 transitions with gradient backgrounds
