Just installed a new tranny for this mower. Same exact fit...followed the little videos from Honda, also installed a brand new Smart Drive cable. Everything went together fine, no problem installing cable. When I started up the mower, I cannot get the smart drive to work. Doesn't matter where I adjust the cable...I cannot get the rear wheels to lock up when pulling backwards no matter where I adjust the cable! When I start the mower, and raise the rear wheels, the wheels turn but when you put them on the ground, the mower won't move. The drive belt was in good condition... Anybody out there have a clue as to what I might do to fix this problem? Thank you.:thumbdown:
I figured out my problem! I had the drive gears on backwards. It now works. However, I had to unscrew the cable adjustment out quite a bit to get it to work properly. This is a brand new cable and the old cable was the same, had to screw it way out. It there some other adjustment besides the cable adjustment?
