Keep the top of trans clean and blow it out every time it’s used, that’s the best way to keep it working right

Truth is there hell to keep it clean and having a air compressor is a must

Grass will shut these down in a heartbeat Shame it’s a joke

Have one of these on a Toro XLS 380. The pedal jams between foward and reverse. Have to play with the pedal like a drummer in a rock band to go fwd and backward. Can't see anything obvious with the likeages and arms causing a problem. All I can say is if I knew at the time back in 2012 about these plastic transmissions I would never have bought the Toro. Too many plastic levers, springs, control cam, rods etc the things a bloody nightmare. Taryl is spot on about these pieces of junk! Anyone got any ideas as to what's going on, why the pedal jams between fwd and rev??

I won't be buying a new tractor with one of those in it.

Who the hell would design a plastic transmission like this? This shouldn't even be legal. Avoid any and all mowers with this transmission or similar design. Unbelievable.

the control little linkage barings rust and freeze up causing the forward and reverse to stop moving ..some times the spring brakes .biggest problem with these.

I have an Ariens 20hp 46" (93608500) with this transaxle. I purchased it last year with only about 10 hours of use. It had been purchased as new old stock by a neighbor who then only used it part of a summer on a small yard. The transaxle doesn't even have actual seals for the axle shafts like some versions. Mine just has O-rings. It started leaking grease (OO grade) with 20 hours of total use. The paint wasn't even worn off the mower blades. I was second owner of it so could not pursue a warranty replacement. The axle shafts do not have bearings or bronze bushings. They wear directly into the plastic housing. I measured the wear in the housing at 0.072inch on one side and 0.057inch on the other at that time the leaks were discovered. The axle O-rings could not seal with that much movement. The axle shaft wear in the axle housing is significantly worse now after 2 summers of mowing I ended up drilling a hole into the housing and gluing a hose to the housing with epoxy so that I can refill the transaxle with grease when ever it decides to quit driving. I'd love to join a class action lawsuit over how deliberately a poor a design this transaxle is.

These cause so much trouble and they are not correcting the problems.

I’ve have good service with my RS800 for 5 yrs. I guess it depends on how you care for them?

que aceite o fluido lleva esta transmision en su interior?? se salio un reten y boto un poco, no lo veo como grasa, si no mas bien como un aceite, me ayduarian si alguein comenta!!

Looks complicated

Full Disassembly = This Is NOT FULL Disassembly = Its " Partial " disassemly = Outte r Hardware In fact

"Respect the tightening torque" If you dont you will crack the plastic. What a joke.

And this little piggy made his gear box from plastic ...the big bad wolf said HHAAAA I'm not waisting my breath on this POS let it fall apart on it's own.

This transmission is a pile of 💩
