    Hi,
    It is either the pump or the motor or both that are down on tolerances. It is likely that Tuff-Torq has updated versions of them. If you pry out that round plug at the high part of the transaxle, the oil level should 1 3/8" below it. It uses high quality 10W30 to add.
    There are videos on YouTube about replacing the pump and motor assemblies, both are generally done at the same time. There are also a pair about upgrading the machine to a K66 transaxle.
    Peace,
    Clarke
