Kabootie, you need to make sure the small tie-rod going from the speed control lever is adjusted correctly. when the spring returns the speed lever to the stopped position (where the roller bearing bottoms out in the lever) the hydraulic actuator on the top of the transmission could be out of adjustment and be supplying enough hydraulic pressure to the tranny to make shifting difficult.
With the engine off, have someone cycle the accelerator pedal and make sure the speed control lever is returning back to the full stop position (bottoming out in the speed lever cam). Make sure the linkage is not binding anywhere (including the dampener stroke) and that the speed control assembly is properly lubricated. Also make sure the cam and roller are clean (no buildup of crud on either).
Also, try raising the rear of the RTV on blocks (in 2WD not 4WD) to see if there is any creep in the drive train after the speed lever returns to fully stopped. If there is any creep, the tie-rod linkage needs adjustment.
This is my country thinkin' just looking at the way it all works.

I agree it must be an adjustment issue. I have listened to a lot of discussion about it not shifting on hills but I have always been able to shift on hill. Yes, I do have to wait about 3 seconds for the unit to settle and the gear shift to release but then it comes right out of gear and right into the next gear. It may be that the adjustment of this HST system is just more complicated than the local dealer techs can handle. It won't be the first time a MFG made something the dealer tech didn't understand. Engineering and technology seems to be way ahead of local training everywhere these days.
Good Luck,

All of these posts were based on this statement!!
"I specifically asked the salesman if the fluid had been changed on the demo, because I had read that former post. He claimed the 50 hour service had been done, but it was still pretty tough."
At this point I would either asertain that Super UDT was used or replace NOW with Super UDT!! IT Really does matter and many dealers believe that UDT is just as good as SUPER UDT and is a lot cheaper!!
Ask youself how would a salesman know which UDT fluid the Mechanic used in the first place!!

I did after some issues with the RTV. It gets picked first almost everytime for riding. Only when I'm loading up with tools and supplies to work does the RTV get used. Besides, you need to wear ear plugs on the RTV because of the driveshaft rattling. /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif

Can anyone tell me if I get the old version speed control put on mine what noticeable difference I will see? Will it be more abrupt stopping and easier shifting; and from what I hear more owners prefer the old version. I'm getting ready to take it back to the dealer for the drive shaft fix and fogging gauges issues and want to get everything fixed once and for all. Which brings me to another question, did the redesigned driveshaft assembly fix the driveshaft rattles? I've been hearing mixed opinions. Finally, done with the questions. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif
Tact,
Check out this thread
Yes, it will stop more abruptly and should be easier to shift. The abruptness can be controled by feathering back on the pedal to control how quickly it stops.
I have yet to hear that the correction for the rattle in the driveshaft works long-term. For those that have replaced the yoke/universal, the rattle did return. I have a new yoke myself but have yet had a chance to replace it.
