Sounds like it could be.......
If you go to goodvac.com, they have some videos on own to replace parts in the transmission. I am not mechanical at all, but even I was able to fix a clicking noise in my Gsix. There is a gear in there that doesn't engage or disengage properly and it is an inexpensive part. You will need torx screw drivers to replace the part.

SPTYKS, I wondered about that. I try to follow the "lower till motor sound changes and then go one more click". But I wondered if I was over doing it. Thanks for the suggestion. | ||

SPY, I'm a little confused by your last post. The motor seems to be running great I was refering to the "KIRBY BOOK" on how to set nozzle hight. | ||

Hi Tom If you are not sure how to do it bring it to a Kirby service center. In the long run you will be better off Doug | ||

Doug, very wise advice! If I get time next week I'm going to find the K store in Macon. Already spoke to them on the phone and it seems they have a good supply of new Sentrias. This can't end well! | ||
