If you have taken apart the transmatic transaxle, add 10 oz of automotive type grease to all the gears, shafts and so on. If you have not taken it apart, there are two holes on edges of the axles, on the lower back side of each end where a special fitting fit and grease can be pumped in. This tool is not available for purchase, your MTD technician probably has it.

The product should have a manual that lists the preferred transmission fluid for the equipment, and an instruction list of where to add it to the mower. It is advisable to use a funnel to add the transmission fluid without spilling fluid over the parts of the mower.
