MTD 38 in shift on the go

[steveo2155]

Any idea where to find a plastic chute and mulch kit for this? Model number 136L673F382. Also the shift lever that you use to change speeds feels loose and sometimes bounces into next speed if I hit a bump. Is there a way to fix this and tighten up?

Hopefully you found those of some help

The "shift lever" just changes tension on the belt system, so you will have to look for sloppiness, maybe a spring that pulls it tight into the notches. Put up a pic of what you have.
