I put this drive into my G5 and it works, but it is reverse happy. It won't go forward unless you push it really hard. I'm going to adjust the two screws backwards just a little bit and see if that helps. It also needs a new cam actuator.

sonnydad - the gear on the motor and the transmission need to be matched - the Sentria 2 tranny and a G5 have different gears, so you need to put on the gear from your G5 onto the tranny (the grey color one in your photo on the exterior of the tranny needs swapped. (the gears I am referring to are the ones the belt rides on)

You also might need to adjust the handle slide assembly too.

The gears

I know. I swapped the gears when I installed the new transmission.
