Discussion:
Loses forward travel. No forward.

I have a G33N-7 that loses forward travel after 5 to 10 minutes in use.
First, it stop going into forward. Then after a few minutes, it will go into forward while in neutral.
Directional switch changed. F and R solenoid changed. Still doing the same thing.
Always has reverse.
Where does the signal to the directional solenoids come from? Are there relays or a controller that sends the voltage to the solenoids?
Any help will be appreciated.

I would swap directional relays and see if the symptoms change. Forward travel while in neutral sounds like a relay since you've replaced the other components.
