AnswerHi Dave,
I suspect the transmission and/or clutch has problems. I cannot be more specific without inspecting the MC.
Get a copy of the service manual and follow the troubleshooting procedures.
Review the following tech information below.
I return tech information files by email. There was no email address with your question as requested in my instructions. Email makes my volunteer service to you possible.
