Default Predator transmission woes

Is it just me or is this thing hard to shift under power? Wait a minute, hard is not the correct word, how about FREAKIN" IMPOSSIBLE!!! Jeez, has anyone else's loosened up yet? Heck, I've ridden mine enough to change the oil four times and even switched from Polaris oil to Motul 300.

ive heard that if you put a 10w40 engine oil in the transmission it makes powershifting much easier you should give it a try.

Just get some hours on it. It''ll smoothen out. It's built to take a beating, hence takes a little time to break in.

The Predator uses 100% synthetic oil that circulates in the tranny and engine. The motul I'm using is a 10w-40.

Added vent holes? Do you mean that they drilled through the sides of the gears to allow (I'm presuming) oil to flow through? It seems like a big job, but if it works........
Do you know who actually did it?
