1405 cub cadet transaxle slipping in 2nd and 3rd gear

[hleach]

I have replaced the shifting keys and all gears look good. I found nothing wrong in the transaxle except the shift keys. I went through all the gears and all in correct in the transaxle per the manual. The mower will pull a few feet in 2nd or 3rd then start slipping. I have also replaced the sheave on the engine drive and replaced the drive belt. I adjusted the belt as tight as possible for it to operate correctly. I have no problem with slipping in 1st, 4the and 5th gear. I would think I am overlooking something in the transaxle. I need help.

Valve body needs to be clean the valve body springs and bearings on top of the springs that close off ports are dirty and allowing fluid to blow by bearing creating leak on pressure side causing slippage !
