Just got a new RTV x1100c to replace a RTV 500 that was about a year old. My problem is hard shifting, never was an issue with the RTV 500. With them both being hydrostatic, which I understand makes shifting a little harder, I need to know what adjustments can be made. I know about pressing the brake pedal hard to relieve pressure, but that only works marginally. With this particular machine I do not have the confidence in the dealership to make the adjustments, great folks but they just don't sell many of these units. I use this machine on a farm so there is a lot of direction changes. Reverse to drive is sometimes a 15 second ritual, very frustrating. Anyway, does anyone know of a mechanic/dealership that has expertise in setting these machine up? I live in Va but am willing to go most anywhere if there is a fix. I would greatly appreciate any help.

Thanks,
