I was thinking bolts Don, just temporarily while I check things out. I think I will drive it in forward for a little while to kinda get the "weight" of the pressure that it takes to drive. Then sit on the front, facing the rear of the machine while driving in reverse, to see if there actually IS a noticeable difference in pressure. I'm thinkin that what Mike said makes sense to me. He also said that nothing that I told him sounded like something that was going to destroy the tranny, that made me feel a lot better! He said that normally when there is a problem with reverse, that you will have a problem steering in forward also. Since mine seems to steer fine then I think this may just be a "head" thing.
I had a band failure about 5 years ago at the Humphrey NY ride and the first thing you will notice a significant increase in distance you have to push or pull the lateral. In my case I lost a forward right side band and every 1/4 mile or so I had to adjust the bolt on the plunger to bring the laterals back even. Very soon after about 2 miles I had no adjustment left. Had to go up hills in reverse and down normally. Fortunately It happened in a Hustler with a reasonable comfortable nose to sit on. I drove that way for about 7 miles. This was with a RC relined band. He made good on the claim and gave me new bands and a drum. He did say that he changed the company that was relining the bands after my failure.
