What causes lawn mower transmission is slip or not hold gear when going downhill?
I had the same problem with my yard man machine. It just started slipping one day going down hill and had been doing it ever since.
What I tried - Checked/ replaced drive belts using OEM replacements (there are 2), no joy.
Checked all Pulleys including variator, All good
Opened rear end, all gears good
Finally I adjusted the linkage from peddle to variator to tighten the front drive belt.
That changed things slippage went away and the machine pulls like new.
But had to adjust it all the way out to handle the slippage.
I am planning to buy a belt from Tractor Supply by length and get it about an inch shorter to regain my adjustments.
I believe the Front OEM belts are a bit too long for the mower as such the belt on the mower works great till it gets stretched and the machine begins to slip and continues after belt replacement. Hope this helps

What causes a lawn mower to shift out of gear going down hill?
A lawn mower may shift out of gear going downhill due to several factors, including a worn or improperly adjusted transmission, which can lose engagement under the force of gravity. Additionally, if the mower is equipped with a safety feature that prevents it from operating in unsafe conditions, it may disengage to avoid potential damage or loss of control. Loose or damaged linkage components can also contribute to this issue, disrupting the connection between the engine and the drive system. Regular maintenance and inspection can help mitigate these problems.

How do you check fluid in hydrostatic transmission in cub cadet riding mower?
To check the fluid in a hydrostatic transmission on a Cub Cadet riding mower, first, ensure the mower is on a level surface and the engine is off. Locate the transmission dipstick or fill plug, usually found near the rear of the mower. Remove the dipstick, wipe it clean, reinsert it without screwing it in, and then check the fluid level against the marked indicators. If the fluid is low, add the recommended hydrostatic transmission fluid until it reaches the proper level.
