• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

SEMI-AUTO KILLER

a bunch of members of our québec club(club-spyder.com) almost killed themselves becose of foulty transmission problems. We are collecting info and letters from spyder owners. Its not normal that a company sales a foulty product and still is without advising the new owners of possible module problems and lets spyder owners go ahaid and put their lives in danger. Sow before someone kill's themself we are taking action.
p.s. excuse my english
 
What kind of transmission....

problems on the SE5. Please post the nature of the problem so those of us with SE5s know what to watch out for... what are the doing? /Ken
 
killer tramsmissions

Please post what the problems are. Its interesting that a group of spyders from the same club have the same problem. If this was across the board on all Spyders, I believe we would have a lot more posts on the website.
 
the transmission jam's can't change speed's hi revolution,
One girl in our club found herself in the middle of a cross road could,nt stop at the red light, lukaly her husband was following her in the car with the kids , he jamed the horn to stop the other cars.

A other guy was stuck on the highway(decary boulevard)were there is no safe lane, could,nt change speed's traffic were passing beside him at fast speed,s, scare the hell out of him...

The major problem is not beeing able to shift the module jam's at a serten speed. You stop the vehicule, try to get it in neutral or first then you try to ryde back home in first gear...or at least get out of the way
 
an other guy was tuck on a freeway, after stopping in traffic, the transmission jammed in neutral, stuck in the middle lane,almost got hit buy a truck.

many other examples of jamming in first gear at stop's not being able to shift.
There is a cousin forum of ours in france and they say they have simular problems....what about you guy,s. i don,t understand how come you don,t have the same problem's espacialy with all the members you have on your forum????
 
That's a very good question. :chat:

I don't have a SE5 model, so I can't really comment.

Could this have something to do with that ground wire recall on the SE5?
 
We have one SE5...

a 2009 year and as of this date no problems with the shifting.

Hi revolutions... I'm wondering if the throttle is not releasing and keeping it from shifting. Quite puzzling though... because She and I shift her's all the time with the engine revved up high. Maybe a gear sensor is going bad or out of calibration.

Please let us know what the dealer finds on these units. /Ken
 
This sounds like they are experiencing the issues that BRP has issued a bulletin about for the 2010 RT SE5 models. Lamont has posted on here about some of them having centrifugal clutch problems, and the resolution that BRP has for the issues.

If these are not RT models that are experiencing these issues, please let us know. I currently have over 8,000 miles on my 09 SE5 without any shifting problems like you are reporting.
 
got info

here is what i got as info
it seems that the centrifuge spring in the clutch is not strong enought and the clutch stay's open...alsow the transmission oil pressure piston has the same problem....many owners are complaning that at a stop if you let go the brake the vehicule will ryde at 15km/hrs and it's difficult to lower to neutral
 
Sounds like the 'creeping' that some were having with their SE5's awhile ago. I believe 'blipping' the throttle helped.
