P500 Rough Clunky Shifting

[Amitchellr]

Have had the p520 for a few weeks. Called the dealer and discussed the rough and clunky shifting. The dealer said this is normal for the p520 and you will get used to it. I read older threads that discussed this. Anyone else experiencing the rough and clunky shifting and if so does it seem to get better over time?

Thanks. I have read quite a bit and it sounds like that’s par for the course when it comes to the p520.

Don’t worry about it cause nothings wrong with it just slam it through the gears and she’ll take it like a champ

Agree with the short Yes!

BUT Doesn't fix itself NEEDS a Little Help.
There is No need to put up with Harsh Shifting ( just to be clear you will always feel the shift )

When New ( factory adjustment is questionable at best ) some shift harsher than others??
Factory does not seem to test drive not sure they even fire it up to see if it runs. ( could be do to shipping with gas in tank ) .
Clutch adj. is approximate at time of Motor & transmission assembly.

Would be nice if dealer would test drive & <> adj clutch <> before customer Takes a delivery.

Do a clutch ADJUSTMENT ( start with the 1/4 turn on the last adjustment ) Test Ride notice any change.
If it still a little harsh try 1/8 th turn usually Smoooth's Out considerably.
After 1st. Oil Change may have to tweak adjustment again.

It will get better after the 1st oil change.
Search “hard shifting”, you will find a lot of info.

It will get better, nothing to be concerned about.
