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.

Fact of the week
In March 2002, identical twins in Finland died on the same day in similar accidents within hours of each other. A 70-year-old man was killed by a truck while cycling; hours later, his twin brother was killed by a truck on the same road, about a mile away, before the family had been informed of the first accident.
