If a warrantable problem occurs in the first two years of service, the transaxle will be replaced as a unit by an authorized White dealer, returning the transaxle to MTD for vendor recovery. It may also be repaired by a Hydro-Gear authorized MTD dealer under the Hydro-Gear warranty.
If any non-warranty hydrostatic transaxle service is required, it can be performed by a White or Hydro-Gear authorized MTD dealer. These transmissions are feasible to repair, and the repair / replace decision is left to the judgement of the shop and the customer.
