I have a walter v drive. It works fine in reverse but appears to slip in forward. I have checked to be sure it is full in gear. But it still acts like it is slipping . Is this possible? What could the problem be?

Hello. Please check the fluid level in the drive - low fluid can casue slippage. Otherwise, you may have an internal mechanical problem - since it is a major project and expense to remove the drive, I would have a good mechanic take a look at it and give you a solid opinion. But I'm going to initially bet on low fluid.
