In case you haven't noticed, the dashboard displays the current gear you're in.

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.

Unless you have it in ECO mode, in which case the gear number is sometimes covered up.
If you let the machine do ALL of the downshifting (in most routine riding), I think you will quickly learn to love it.
I am having a similar problem as we speak. I have a 2018 RT Limited SE6 and it stopped going into gear at all. I had reverse but that isn't helpful on the highway very much. Mine is in the shop now and they are working with BRP to try and figure out the problem. I towed it to the dealer twice and backed it off trailer and parked it. The mechanic goes out later to move it and it goes into gear on the first drop off and never lost gears again. I drove it home and lost all forward gears that night. It is back in the shop and BRP is still trying to figure out the problem. I say take it to the shop and make sure they know other people are having same type of problem. I hope you luck.

Did the dealer diagnose if the problem is the transmission or the paddle shifter?
There is a service bulletin (2018-05) about trouble with the 2018 paddle shifter.
In most cases, users could not downshift or go to reverse, but some, including mine could not upshift.
The fix is to replace the complete left handlebar control module.

Based on reports here, I don't buy that "BRP is still trying to figure out the problem".
There have been a LOT of failures with the paddle shifters, requiring replacement of the whole switch assembly on the left bar.
I think there has even been a service bulletin issued.
(See post #24.)
Thank you, as best as I could read of the service bulletin it says about not going into reverse or downshifting. My problem is not going into first or if in first not going past. But after sometime later it goes back to working correctly and all with no codes showing up. I will make sure they know to check into that service bulletin during the day tomorrow.
