If your mixer is just slowing or bogging down under a heavy load and not coming to a complete stop, your problem, most likely, is NOT in the transmission.
I would suspect 2 things.
1. Depending on the age of the unit, (older mixers contain a armature with brushes as opposed to a rotor) perhaps the motor armature requires cleaning and brush adjustment/replacement.
2. And probably the true reason for your issue (easily fixed, however), your recipe is and has always been more than the mixer is designed to handle. To check this suspicion, calculate the weight of all your ingredients including the water and check it against the capacity chart found here. http://www.primasupply.com/images/hobarta200.pdf
If you find that the batches your mixing are, in fact, too large simply reduce the batch size and you should be fine.
"But it's been mixing that recipe for years", you say. This is a common arguement, to which I've always replied "you've been lucky all those years... it's just not designed to mix that much product."
Hope this is of some use...all the best.
Are you still under warranty? If you take the machine apart you could ruin the warranty. First try calling them and telling them it is for a church and a non profit and you had to raise money to purchase what you thought was the best. I would also try cutting the mixture in half because you can always knead the dough slightly. If this is the case then you don't have a powerful enough mixture. If you call them it may make a huge difference.
