Export threadWithout looking at what tranny you have, will assume gear drive. Remove the tranny from the tractor, split the transmission case, reinstall the missing snap ring or E clip. Reassemble and reinstall.
If you have a hydro, this job just got a lot worse.

And most important find the retainer inside the box before you button it back up.
It is a biggish job, but not a hard one.
The tranny has to come out so the entire mower needs to come apart.
Most likely you have a Peerless or Hydrogear tranny and both of them have full service manuals available on line for free download.
Biggest PIA is cleaning off the old sealant from the joining faces.
