transmission generally is 'condensation'...you can probably try adding sea foam treatment to clear that up...can also add to your hydraulics a well.

they are best kept under cover or tarps.

keep at it...it is simply following thru the procedures...these are nice machines and will do a lot more than you might think...mine literally tore out a group of trees...standing in middle of yard up to six inch diameter --7 or 8 f them with roots tied together and could not pull them down to separ...

Again, first you need the manual and read on adjusting the steering brakes....your lever is traveling too far and is actually kicking out of the three ball bearings that ride under the mechanism....that (clicking) tells you that adjustment is needed. once you have gone thru the adjustment procedures...
