    Default Trans filter

    I am fastly approaching my 20K mile service for the trans filter replacement and was wondering what that had cost anyone that had had it done. Was planning on doing it myself, but I now understand that the BUDS system must be used to purge the air after the service.

    that would be at 28,000 miles but have not seen or heard of anyone doing or having it done. I know it will not be cheap considering engine covers have to be removed...we'll be watch you.. call around or check shop manual for flat rates

    OK, that gives me a little more time. At least 2 oil changes until then. Thanks!

    Default just a thought

    My best friend has worked on both His and My Spyders and very often it has stated " BUDS " re-boot is required .......and we have found out that it isn't .....I'm starting to think this is a CYA thing from BRP...............Mike

    Wow, that would be nice if we didn't have to do that. I could do all of the work myself. I hate paying for unnecessary service. Maybe by the time I get there, we'll know by then!
