Bearings replacement required. Transmission fluid contamination. Transmission fluid change required.

Difficulty shifting gears: Rusty or worn gear shift linkage. Lubricate or replace shift linkage. Unadjusted or worn clutch. Replace or adjust clutch. Damaged or worn gear shift forks. Change defective shift forks. Defective parts in the gearshift mechanism. Replace defective parts.

Transmission oil pressure is low: Transmission fluid insufficient. Check and refill the transmission fluid. Transmission oil filter is dirty (if equipped). Service or replace the transmission oil filter. Relief valve failure. Replace relief valve.

Transmission oil leaking: Worn seals or gaskets. Install new components. Too much oil in transmission. Drain the excess oil.

Hydrostatic Transmission Troubleshooting

Excessive HST transmission noise: Speed control linkage is defective or unadjusted. Adjust or install new linkage. Excessive loading. Reduce transmission load. Oil is dirty or oil level is too low. Change transmission oil or top up to proper level. Stuck relief valve. Replace the valve. Transmission parts are worm or defective. Replace or repair defective components.

Transmission oil overheats: Transmission is under excessive load. The load should be reduced. Damaged or clogged cooling components. Inspect all cooling components and replace or repair if necessary. Transmission oil insufficient. Need to add transmission oil. Plugged transmission oil filter. Service or replace the transmission oil filter.

Power is insufficient: Low oil level. Add oil to the transmission housing. Defective relief valve. Replace relief valve. Worn or out of adjustment speed control linkage. Adjust or replace linkage.

Transmission oil leaking: Clogged transmission fluid return pipe. Clean or change return pipe. Seals or gaskets are broken. Seals and gaskets replacement required. Internal transmission housing pressure is too high. Change defective parts.
