Was like that from beginning or just started ? Because yeah shifting is kind the noisy and rough on MAV R, specially when you are used to drive SxS with CVT. Maybe the gears ratios difference between 2nd and 3rd is kind the high and make this sound more noticeable when upshifting. IMO Will be interesting what others will say....

 

There is a reflash for the transmission. If you have not gotten it yet, it smooths out the shifting.

 

Like from the BRP dealership right? Not the Evolution powersports one?

 

My max a couple of the gears are definitely quieter shifting. I wouldn’t say anything concerning. 1700 miles on it. Just changed trans oil for second time. Magnet looked fine on drain plug. 2-3 seems to be louder than say 4-5

 

Yea it was was like this from the start but the gears have seemed to have gotten a bet better. It's just the 2nd to 3rd that is pretty harsh. Maybe just keep easing it into 3rd will smooth it out until I can schedual in that transmission reflash. I'm guessing the BRP dealership should be aware of this and know what to do..right? I definately want to do an early service on the unit. I'm thinking at 50 hrs. Manual says 100.

 

They are also straight cut gears. So they are inherently noisier than helical cut gears

 

Only issues I have been having on my 2025 is it wont get out of park and hits me with a transmission fault code

 

Did you get that fix? If so what was the reason ?

I'm still having the issue with hard shift into 3rd. Seems to be getting worst. Just past 50 hrs on this and mostly cruising. Been trying to go easy on the shift but this seems wierd. Kinda making a funny noise in the trans area too. Wonder if 3rd gear is starting to fail? Still plenty of time on the warranty so I think it's a visit to the shop. Hopefully it's just a trans refash or something minor. Any body else have this happen? 😨

 

I would change the trans oil and see how much metal is on the mag plug. It will have some, but bigger chunks are an issue.

 

Change the DCT oil/filter and check the mag plugs as stated by others. Your first time draining all of the DCT plugs will lead to an utter mess. Read the manual on how to properly fill the DCT. You've got limited time to check for the correct fill level. I use Motul DCT oil as I swear the BRP oil is pure brake fluid. I'm at 1,400 miles on a 2024 and all my gear shifts now sound the same.

Yeah I am thinking to change the trany oil now even with just 25 hour on car. Will use the Motul DCT oil too , at least I will be sure about quality of the oil .

 

I have 1900 miles on my car now. Just a couple hundred ago changed trans oil for the second time. This time I went with the motul oil as well. Not sure I really noticed any difference in the noise Per se but maybe a tiny bit. It’s a 25 max

 

Thanks for the info. Iv placed an order through my local BRP dealership for all the trans oil and engine oils as well. Definately going to do the trans oil change and hopefully there's no chunks of gears gonna come out. If it's clean then I suppose I can get the dealership to do the relflash and hope I can enjoy the rest of my short summer. Now just gotta find the motul stuff. Sounds like it's way better that BRP oils.
Again thanks guys. I'll be back shortly with an update.

 

Just FYI - I bought BUDS2 yesterday and today connected and checked for any Mav R firmware updates (especially for the Transmission) - there are no updates available at least, not since I got my Mav R back in March...sigh...

 

I haven't ever updated mine. I believe it was manufactured October 2024...is there an update from then till now at least? Yhat that

 

tag for more motul fluid feedback.

 

Yup still the same.minor shavings on the drain plugs. No chunks came out but I think I seen a filter on the inside of the drain holes. It's making a humming when I give it gas in the higher gear range now. So frustrating. What the heck is going on?

 

What do you mean by seen a filter on inside of the drain holes? Like pieces from transmission filter? Or maybe you just see steel mesh on oil pump pick up . When I looked on transmission parts diagram you can see strainers on the both side of transmission . Was wondering if they should be cleaned too after while. On passenger side will be easy ,but on the driver side the frame is in the way……not sure why they are there.

 

Me pasa lo mismo en mi R 2025, hace un ruido como que algo raspa al cambiar de 3ra a 4ta, me pasa cuando acelero en alguna subida leve, no me pasa siempre, tengo videos donde se nota el ruido, me comentaron que probablemente sea el selector de los cambios en la transmisión.

I'm having the same problem with my 2025 R. It makes a scraping noise when shifting from 3rd to 4th. It happens when I accelerate on a slight incline. It doesn't happen all the time. I have videos where the noise is noticeable. I was told it's probably the transmission shift selector. Greetings from Los Cabos.

Sería genial publicar algunos vídeos.

That would be great to post some videos.
