Ive watched videos were there was alotta crap on those magnets....they just cleaned it up and solved the issues...McLaren would probably charge 40k for a new trans😂😂...EVERY THING IS REPAIRABLE❤😅

[@midlifecarisis_]

My guess is I will probably be doing that service, if this fluid and filter changes don't do it! Please keep watching as I try to figure this one out. Thanks for Subscribing and Watching

@midlifecarisis_ just keep making mclaren videos and ill be happy 😊

I’ll be interested to see how it helps. I have similar hard shift 2-3. Kevin said it could be the magnets being dirty that allow the trans to know what gear it’s in.

After I published the video last night, Frank who works for Kevin texted me and shared their video of doing exactly what you described. I guess it is called a SAV Block Cleaning. Next step is the clutch filter and fluid change, then we will do the next test drive in manual mode. The SAV Block Cleaning may be the third step. Trying to no have to open the transmission if I can help it. Thanks for watching and following along.

@@midlifecarisis_ Yeah, at least if you use clean containers, you could reuse the fluid, but it's a bit of a PITA to repeat.

[@grantdavies6081]

so I'm also considering having the clutch and trans calibration done with MDS, I used to do it on my GTR with my tuning software and it smoothed things out.. I have a similar issue to you, shift fine at full WOT in auto mode, but harsher shift in manual..

@@grantdavies6081 I bought a Diagcode - Single VIN, it will actually arrive tomorrow, I wonder if it has those calibration features. I will be doing some Diagcode videos coming up!
