Hi all, I have a machine that likes to go slow in forward, but jerks/snaps when you start moving in reverse. Contactors are closing, and not releasing until the joystick is released. Had another guy aim to replace the fwd and rev switches at the joystick, but instead aimed for the potentiometer. Wondering if anyone by chance had advice on what would usually cause this. Thanks!
