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.
Anyone changed their 1330 trans filter yet?

Doubt it....
That filter does not need changing for 28,000 miles. It resides inside the engine and requires removing engine covers to get at. Don't know what all is involved but the physical pulling of the cover and replacing is not that hard but then there may be more to it cause it is not a cheap service...:dontknow:

You might send a message to spyderann
I got the mileage on , I need to talk to someone who has done this themselves. I know the filter is about $105.

I've got a manual transmission so no transmission filter for me.

Dealer required
Changing the transmission filter requires the BUDS Computer to be connected after the oil/filter change to cycle the various solenoids in the HCM (Hydraulic Control Module). Doing the procedure ensures that all the air that got into the system during the filter change is removed. Air in the hydraulic system is not good. So unless you have access to a BUDS computer you will need the dealer do the job.

I changed mine just before our NTA trip at 21,000 miles. Early I know, but did not want to have to have that done during the trip.
It's more involved than just the standard oil and filter change, but that's where you start by draining all the oil out first as you will still get a fair amount out of that cover.
It is located at the bottom far right of the motor on the right side. I removed the right side black plastic support piece that holds the snap on vented Tupperware and the headlight adjuster as well as the right side short skid plate below it. This gave me direct access to the 10mm (head) bolts on the cover as well as a strait shot for the oil to drain.
The cover and filter are one piece so remove the bolts and pull the old cover off and replace with the new and bolt it on. Fill with oil (make sure your drain plugs and back in) run the bike and check for any leaks then button it all back up. Have a beer and congratulate yourself on saving a lot of $ that the dealer would have charged you.
If you have the time to wait you can find the filter on line for less than the $105 I paid.

No BUDS done, no Air, and no problems when I did mine and that was 10,000 miles ago. In fact the person who sold me the filter is also the head Spyder tech at my dealer and if BUDS was required he would have told me.
Thanks PW20, Just what I needed from somebody that's done it. Thanks again , BLuep

:agree: just read this in the manual. If you replace the filter you need to make sure no air is in the system.. BUDS is required..:thumbup:

I was hoping that that was put in there to convince us we needed to take it to the dealer. I have 8500 miles left before I need to do mine so maybe a few others will have reported on theirs by then!!

BUDS
:yikes:.....According to the MANUAL.......BUDS is REQUIRED for almost everything that is done on all Spyders...........Well guess what ...this is a Myth................It also says everytime a CODE shows on your screen.....put the Spyder on a trailer and IMMEDIATELY bring it to the nearest Dealer. If every one actually did this, the total mileage for ALL Spyders sold to date would be about 10,000 miles and 95 % of them would be in the shop right now WAITING to be serviced .................just sayin.........Mike :thumbup:

What did the old one look like inside?
PW, did you dissect the old one to see what it looked like? Would like to know what it is made of and whether there were
any obvious accumulation of debris.
Looking at the fiche I don't see anything called transmission filter.
Could it be what is called an "Oil radiator"? Oil Radiator

It is all the same version you just can't write any changes to BRP if you aren't a dealer. We also don't have access to the BOSS website

I think what you're looking for is in the Clutch Cover parts list, item #16, Oil Filter and Cover Assembly in the attachment. The cover and and filter are an assembly replaced as a unit.
