Hello all, I need some mechanical help. I have a B7100HST probably from mid 1990's or so. It has begun to be very sticky when I move the pedal from forward to reverse. So much so that it makes a weird noise briefly before I can get it in reverse. The hydrostatic drive seems fine.

I already lubricated the linkage because I thought it was dragging and slowing the shifter down, but that did not help much.

Any ideas or help would be appreciated. I get a bit nauseated thinking it might be a transmission/clutch problem.

Jeff
