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.
Is there a Trans filter change video for 2014 and up RT's?

If you can change your own oil and filter you can easily change the HCM filter with no video needed. The only very minor thing I faced was getting a Torx bit on Bolt #4, lower, rearwardmost one in the tightening sequence picture; just had to loosen a little more Tupperware, no big deal.

I changed ours when I did the oil change closest to the 30,000 mile mark. I took my time and let the case drain overnight, and cleaned the ports and sealing surfaces and lightly oiled the rubber oring that the HCM filter port has that engages the case.
Then just use the cross sequence to even out the 6 cap screws up to about 5 INCH pounds torque, and then go over the sequence again to bring them up close to the prescribed 9 INCH pounds.... it just takes a little twist of the wrist - you can probably even use a 1/4" drive screwdriver to snug them up. DON'T get TOO ROUGH!!

Yeah, I had to learn the 3-D puzzle the hard way when I got my RTS. It was at 30K, and since I got it from the online dealer, I had no history on it. So I replaced the HCM, oil, fuel filters myself. Also had to replace the inner left side bag due to a broken hings. Not I'm fairly intimate with the tryke. (Got a post on here somewhere about that day)
As has been said though, if you know how to take the plastic off, the HCM is easy. Just follow the torque and patter specs and all will be well. No need for the dealer or BUDS.
