Paddle shifter need help!
My check trans. goes on what I want to know is where do I find a replacement part? Been to cheapcycle and BRP.com but cannot come up with a part or part #. Would like to know how hard it is to replace? I do oil changes, brake pads new plug wires and plugs and the oil sensor. A member said he got one and was going to install it, but I can't find one to buy! My Green manual only shows how to shift it unless I am looking in the wrong place? The code comes on when shifting mostly down and then sometimes goes off while shifting so very confused. Its a 2010 RSS SE5. Hope for help.

Any help is greatly needed.
. .............Mine was re-placed under warranty .....so I can't help with any firsthand knowledge on that.......however from looking at the PARTS - Fiche pic , the wire doesn't appear to be to long and it has to travel at least the length on one side of the handle - bar.......I would call pro-caliber, 800 # and just ask them " how long is the wire "........I think this would give you a good idea of where the end of the plug would be ........Good luck.........I know this was dis-cussed awhile back, I think SPYD3R in S.C. either did His or had it done ......PM Him........Mike :thumbup:

The wires enter a rectangular tube in front of the bars and on top of the frame. So many wires running through this tube you can't pull the connector out through it, or let alone run the new one back through it. I ended up re-routing the cable slightly and securing it out of harms way.
Thanks for the pics! Not a fun job.
I tried like you know what to get the top off, all I did was scratch the Crap out my plastic. Watched a YouTube video, had the same tool made. So I went the bloody knuckles route. I had no idea where the plug was, but spyderlovers.com came through with this thread. I pried apart the lower part of the plastic, the piece you see in the pic above tio make a gap big enough to get a long screw driver through to push on the tab. Finally rooted new cable through another way of course. Finally got the click. Now o gotta figure out how to get old cable out! It is stuck of course deep in the belly of the beast! Might just cut it and tuck it.
Really frustrated with myself getting the top off pushing on the two tabs should be easy! I top took apart the old unit and the parts are sealed perfectly. Now wondering if it wad just the connector being up front in the rain and damp like mentioned. But I have a shiny new paddle.
I'm having the same problems mentioned above, staying in gear, no codes most of the time. Really hoping the new paddle fixes it.
Anyone find a video other than the guy using a smashed nail on how tio get the top off?
