Transmission hesitates
Craftsman DYT4000 riding mower, 8 years old. When going up hill, the mower bucks at times when going up hill. Just started last year; thought it was the fuel filter, but that didn't solve the problem. Down hill or level ground is no issue. All engine filters are new and mower is tuned up; don't know if there's a transmission filter maybe that I need to change or is it a relief valve problem. I mention relief valve because I hear a slight "psss" sound when it bucks. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Some DYT4000 with Peerless transaxles had a problem with the neutral gear between the transaxle and the pump, it would not engage all the way and would jerk evenually grinding out the gear, I replaced it on one I had. Have a good one. Geo
