Do you have a gear shift or speed shift transmission? Can you shift it with the unit not running? Did it happen suddenly or has it slowly gotten worse? Sorry to ask questions, but need more input.
I have a gear shift type, over time it was getting harder to get it to shift, now it won't shift out of neutral either forward or reverse. I can't shift it running or not running..
Sorry to say, but it is time to R&R the tranny. Please post the model and serial number of the unit (located under the seat) and I'll see if I can give you a better understanding of what the problem might be.
I have repaired many of these units, and I would not recommend digging into it unless you feel you a mechanically inclined. If you decide you are going to tackle this let me know and I will give you a few tips to what to watch out for. It is not a hard task, but can make you look like a fool very quickly.
Thanks for the info, I'm going to find a used one somewhere, I checked with Club Cadet Parts and the transaxel is no longer available, it has a great engine so I really hate to junk it. I could probably tackle the transmission, but it certainly looks like a lot of gears to keep track of!! Appreciate your help.
I don't know if this would work or not. I have a Craftsman riding mower, would the transaxel fit? Do they use the Tecumseh transaxels? Its also a gear type transmission.
