Reverse weak YTA22V46

[LarryC3315]

In the last year using this mower, it has gotten very weak in reverse. Forward is working great. It'll climb my hills like a billy goat, but will barely pull itself in reverse. I was thinking it needed the pedals adjusting, but can't see any adjustments. I blew out all the debris on the top of the transmission, but it hardly helped. Any suggestions? I mow 2 1/2 acres with it, and use reverse quite a bit.

I'd service the trans and clean the engine cooling fins.

Yes, I have cleaned the cooling fins. This is the 7th year using this mower. The only service I've seen for the trans is to clean it.

Yes, I have cleaned the cooling fins. This is the 7th year using this mower.

Stunned to say the least. Most people don't have a clue what that means.

Check this adjustment on the RS800.

I've been looking at the manual for doing that. Do I need the special tool and can I do it with the trans in place?
