In the last year using this mower, it has gotten very weak in reverse. Forward is working great. It'll climb my hills like a billy goat, but will barely pull itself in reverse. I was thinking it needed the pedals adjusting, but can't see any adjustments. I blew out all the debris on the top of the transmission, but it hardly helped. Any suggestions? I mow 2 1/2 acres with it, and use reverse quite a bit.

I'd service the trans and clean the engine cooling fins.

Yes, I have cleaned the cooling fins. This is the 7th year using this mower. The only service I've seen for the trans is to clean it.

Check this adjustment on the RS800.

I've been looking at the manual for doing that. Do I need the special tool and can I do it with the trans in place?
