Craftsman Riding Mower Model 917.273351 Trans Problem

Sorry...I posted question on wrong forum. I have a Craftsman Riding Mower...Model #917.273351. I think mine is a 2004.

Here's my problem. If I'm in neutral and put it in any gear forward or reverse, it will not come out of gear.

Most of the time it will come out if I let the brake/disengage pedal out a little bit and have if move. I push down the pedal a little (not hard enough to set the brake) and pull the lever it will come back in neutral.

Whatever gear I put it in forward or reverse it will not come out unless I do as I stated above.

Sometimes I have jacked the rear of the tractor up with both wheels off the ground and spin the tires, it will come out of gear.

Is there some type of adjustment or do I have a problem transaxle?

Thanking you in advance~~~~~~~~~~~Ron

Not sure if its a trans issue....might be just a simple case of lubrication....
