Haven’t seen the stories. Please share

 

Youre kidding right? Lol. There has to be 20-30 different posts ive read so far with pictures of broken magnets, broken gears, etc. BRP is only selling the complete transmission instead of individual parts. Theyre denying claims from anyone with the “evo” trans tuning.

 

The magnets are just a replaceable item. That no big deal. Yes any trans tuning will void warranty.

 

If you ever been inside a dct trans before you know there zero chance a dealer got a tech that could rebuild one. Why they just do total replacement.

 

What im trying to figure out is why are there so many broken gears and issues? What is causing this?? Id like to know what to avoid/etc.

 

now you know why the old ruber band trans are still very popular

 

Not sure I would say CVT are more popular just we are more used to them and for sure they are simple compare to DCT and less intimidating, if something goes wrong. And from manufacturing point are cheaper to produce. IMO

 

I’m guess guessing but I say you see more of it on the east coast riding. I’d guess heavy foot bouncing and landing on gas. They probably also broke there cv shafts.

 

I was told by Sandcraft that some of the rock and KOH racers were twisting the rear driveshaft but that is in high powered race built rigs.

 

Get cold feet while lying in bed last night lol?

I had the same when I bought my X3, tossed and turned a lot that night. I knew it was a bad financial decision and my better judgement told me to not buy it. At one point I decided I was going to call them in the morning and cancel the purchase. From a financial standpoint they are all a terrible decision but I sure did have a lot of fun with it. It’s terrible fun per dollar value though. I don’t regret buying it, but I still struggle a bit for making such a bad financial choice. It’s something my inner soul fights hard to prevent me from doing lol.

 

Lol I actually put a deposit on a 26 limited max hd11 today too. Ill make my decision before the weekend. Ive just always wanted a long travel defender. I guess its an east coast thing…

 

There are 5 in our group and so far none have any issues. These are used in the dunes.

 

A whopping (4) failures out of how many sold?

If you are that worried, send the trans to Weddle as they build up all the KOH cars.

 

I am sure, if they will have any big problems they will change something, but parts # for transmission are the same from 24 till 26 . IMO

 

Cvt offer a lot of good things as far as the belt will break and not gears. Lower cost. If the idea of needing a 7k trans replacement affects your choice. A cvt SxS is more cost affective choice.

 

Over 1500 miles of east coast trails beat down and zero transmission issues so far. We usually hit the hardest trails when we ride. I am in manual 90% of the time unless on the road. I do think that drivers that use auto in the rough stuff are just asking for a trans problem. Could low be lower….yeah. But it definitely does great on 35s for us!!

 

The biggest issuse a lot of times is when stuff breaks ppl are looking to blame any one but themself so you never get the real story.

 

Bingo!!! Its never "SHIT, I shouldn't have done that" instead its "What kind of piece of junk are they selling here!?!?", And then they run to the forums looking for validation.

 

2600 miles on mine and never skipped a beat so far. Another in the group 1000 and hasn’t seen issues. I had heard some may have been sent where the magnets were overtightened and causing them to break. 🤷🏼‍♂️. I have also heard that it sounds like potentially certain parts may be coming now instead of full trans as options. And as always you hear the worst of everything on Facebook for sure. And then 45 posts of the same guy as well. Have some broke yeah I’m sure of that no doubt. Everything will have issues for sure. Also seems to me more of the 24’s but that could be off base.

 

Its a pretty standard really. If you put a bunch of extra power in your engine, you need to do something with the transmission.

 

True, but the only way we find out is people adding more and more power and see what starts failing. Adding clutch pack hydraulic pressure will help the clutches. Tuning shift RPM and full clamp time also helps or hurts.

Just like GM and the C8, people have added 50% more power on a stock DCT setup witout issues. Tuned and a new clutch material they have been 1200-1400 HP.

 

If you died tomorrow because some idiot whipped a U-turn on the freeway in a semi truck, would you be glad you saved all that money for later....? Some people think "Travel" is money well spent. Some people think going out to eat at Post-Covid quality restaurants is still a worth while venture. Hell, I know a guy that spent almost as much on a sim machine, just so he can pretend to do what I can go do on the weekends. To each their own. But you guys on here talking about this "Fun per dollar" stuff, need to learn how to have fun again. You're doing it wrong. What's the point in working a miserable job if you cant buy the shit you want but don't need? All I'm working for is the hope that I get to NOT work for a few years before I die, if my body holds up and I don't die before that...? ****. THAT. As long as responsibilities are handled, go have fun.

 

Fortunatlely, horse trading was in my genes, along with work experience trained me to be wise with purchases and sales. The one way I was able to have most all the toys I wanted through the years was buying right, I maintaind a philosophy where I practiced to never buy toys or equipment I couldn't at least break even with or make money on and turn them over accordingly. Even with a brand new truck every year. Most everything exept for disposables was an investment or money in the bank over time. Yes there were times of loss but overall minimal where the net was always in the black and with a fair gain over time. I was fortunate to have sustained this practice for decades.

Times have most definitley changed as it's become a rarity, or much more work involved to break even or gain today as in the past, and the fact I'm up in age has alot to do with motivation in this department. I'm losing more equity than I ever have with toys and equipment, mostly due to lack of turnover and the economy. However, my time is much more valuable buillding our businesses for future residual income. I gave it 4-5 years after starting the last endeavor, I'm now in the 5th year as we speak spending up to 12-14 hours a day, 6-7 days a week with missed vacations (riding time) and some familiy time. I'm about DONE!

The most heavy thing on my mind right now?
What if I could no longer enjoy life due to health, or if I died tomorrow....

I'll take that new Can Am, please!

 

I live and spend like each day could be my last. If something happens to me. My wife has what she needs to live well. I love my nephew but once he out of college his toys and play money his problem.

With no kids of my own I don’t realy care to be around past 75. If I’m not working I’d go crazy.

 

I want my future work to be making plans to have fun or relax.

I still like to tinker with toys and equipment. Play with the tractor and dozer, run a chainsaw at times... there will always be that to do.

And as long as I own the businesses, I'll still have my finger in it.

 

Well this thread has changed course, hah my goal is to be like yall. To have family involved riding, and have enough saved up that if I want a mav r xrc I can go get one….not sure I’ll ever be on Burton’s level😂, so will just start with 1.

 

Keep focused and keep chipping.

 

To put this topic back on track. I wouldn’t worry about the dct unless you plan to abuse it. If that your goal then be prepared to spend money.

 

Define abuse lol.
I think that means different things to different people.

 

Drive it like someone else is paying the repair bill.

 

There always room for others on this level. At the end of the day if you get home after a long days your still smiling and your family happy. Your here. But to be safe might as well get a boat too. Lol

 

Too bad BRP wouldn't partner with a solid tuner to offer factory backed HP upgrades with warranty like Callaway does with GM. My supercharger package and trans tune have my full GM warranty on the entire drivetrain. Not a cheap HP adder but with full factory warranty, many people would pay a premium for the HP adder.

 

Liabilty is to high in several areas.

 

I believe they feel it's better off overall left with the tuners and staying out of it.

 

Isn’t CARB dead now

 

Nope. CARB is alive and well, just as corrupt as always.

 

Asking this guy waht happend with the first one.
