Traction Cable
The inner wire of the drive cable undergoes permanent plastic deformation (stretch) during repeated use of the Personal Pace handle. This prevents the idler pulley from applying the necessary tension to the drive belt even when the handle is fully depressed. Replacing the cable restores the mechanical advantage required to lock the belt into the pulley grooves.

Transmission Drive Belt
Persistent slipping causes high-frequency vibration and thermal friction, which glazes the belt's sidewalls. This glazing reduces the coefficient of friction, meaning that even with proper tension, the belt will continue to slip under load. A new belt is required to provide the high-tack surface necessary for torque transfer.

Cable Relocation Service Kit
This is a specific OEM-engineered fix for early production units where the original cable entry angle was insufficient. The kit relocates the cable mounting point on the engine base to improve the pull-ratio on the transmission idler arm, providing significantly more tensioning range and preventing premature slippage.
