For the traction problem I used 3M grip pad from the local auto store. The type used for foot traction on equipment. Cut strip and only applied them to the lugs 1/4" back from center. This keeps the sidewalk from tearing them off. They help the traction, but shouldn't give enough grip to wreck the gear box. I put an interlock on my grandsons tractor so he can't go from forward to reverse without removing power from the motor.
U might need to get on ebay and try to find a new switch
I had the same problem and replaced the shifter which I found at

This fixed all the speeds and now it runs great.
Hope this helps
