I generally don't see problems with the transmission itself, so it should last many many years without a single issue. The part I do often replace is the selector pedal assembly, the cam on the inside on some more recent models will work its way loose. I've also replaced a couple of the "bracket cam assemblies" as the end that pulls the drive sprocket back to disengage the drive will sometimes wear down and not pull it back far enough and cause a clicking sound when pushing the machine in neutral. But overall its a very reliable transmission with very few problems.

I have a Sentria G10D and with Tech Drive engaged the machine moves easily when pulled backward but has more resistance when pushed forward even with the floor nozzle raised all the way up. Shouldn't it move with equal resistance in both directions?
Could this be just an adjustment or a more serious problem? |
