Is there a reliable replacement for the General Transmission RS800 CVT or should I simply put the tractor out to pasture?

These Transmissions are pure junk, I paid a lot of money to buy a new mower and have had nothing but trouble from the first year.

I have a craftmans T2200 with hydrostatic. I noticed both my rear wheel seals are leaking. I ordered parts to replace them. Also today after detaching my lawn, it started acting weird. Would not want to go in reverse, I had to force the handle backwards to get it moving. What could be the cause of this? It was really dusty and dirt job today.

there giving it a NO LOAD test and then calling it good ...wtf ??? . when i worked for white (mtd by any other name) the test was you secured the tractor by putting the front wheels against a stationary object . then under power you engaged the trans . if the wheels spun against the ground i was good

My bypass rod is extremely hard to pull. My forward and my reverse dont work. The pedal still has a normal resistance. I'll try some of these steps but I fear the worst.

Same issue here. Passes all video checks. No evidence of oil leaks. Replaced all belts. Looks like tension is good as nothing is blocking tensioner action. Comes to full stop up hills with throttle fully depressed. Belt is spinning but can't tell if tranny pulley is spinning with it. I have a new rs800 sitting next to it ready for replacement, but not sure if that's going to fix the problem.

Checklist: 1. Buy a relatively cheap riding mower 2. Search for solutions to issues with your low hours mower. 3. Go to buy a different mower. 4. Check to make sure your potential purchase doesn't have this abomination attached to it.

So If I push the forward pedal in and try to turn the secondary pulley and it will NOT turn at all and same with reverse pedal mashed, then the pulley needs to be replaced? Pulley turns fine until I hit the forward/reverse pedal. I have lost reverse on mower and forward just barely creeps. I have heard broken control cam, rotating cam, shift cam. Are these all the same and if so you think we could just agree on one thing to call it? Also hear I need a anti debris kit, a driven kit. I think I'm ready to light the damn thing on fire. And why the he'll do I need to buy a special tool in order to replace this companies parts? Who does y'alls marketing? Just up the stupid price of that pulley kit and include the damn tool in the kit already. It's about recall time isn't it boys? You have made enough money that you can now fix some of these problems that people have spent there hard earned money on that made you rich from these junk transmisdions. This isn't China. We don't want junk!
