When shifting there is no power up...sounds like it's dragging. No grinding of gears...no lights on....no smells and no leaks

Sounds as if the clutch is slipping, if the drive is taken up with the clutch pedal almost released the clutch is well worn or out of adjustment I believe that this is a non adjustable type hydrostatic clutch system, get a mechanic to do a quick test drive they will be able to tell you if the clutch is failing straight away.
