My Stanley riding lawn mower runs good and mows good, But It only goes slow.. What is the problem? It just started that this year and is about 10 years old. It takes forever to do our acre yard....

Make sure the bypass isn't activated, and check the condition of the drive belt. Is the tranny making any unsual noises.

When was the belt last replaced? If you say more than 5 years ago, I would check it's condition and also the condition of the belt tensioner.

No the transmission isn't making any sounds. We were told it will cost around 900. to fix it.... The mechanic thinks... It might be in the transmission.

The bypass isn't activated and It has a new belt. No unusual noises.

Does the clutch have full travel when you press it down with your left foot? If it doesn't the belt won't have sufficient tension on it.

I'm out of options here. Hopefully your transmission isn't bad. I personally wouldn't spend $900 to have one worked on.

Is reverse working as it should

(( racing is the only sport that you need two balls ))

What I would do is remove from the mower separate the two covers clean it out and replace the oil and give it a try.
Or look on the top for a black cap and just add some oil.
Worst thing that can happen is you get to see what the inside looks like.

Look on Craigslist and find a $100 mower and use the tranny off it.
Or find a small shop and see if they have one laying around.

I'm just wondering what became of the mower. If the transmission was repaired and how. My Stanley mower has only one speed. And it's very slow.
