Answer
Hello David:

Being 13 Years Old, you have 2 Choices. 1- Disassemble the Transmission and Clean. Inspect the Internal Components and Replace if Required. Reassemble and Pack with Wheel Bearing Grease. You can View a Breakdown/IPL of the Mower/Engine at this Site Addy, http://hayward.arinet.com/scripts/EmpartISAPI.dll?MF&app=ASP&lang=EN&TF=Mainfram... and Select the Catalog American Honda. I have Not Located any Illustrated Parts List (Breakdown) for Any Honda Transmissions. However, they are simple Transmissions and I always Suggest Pictures be Taken as the Unit is Disassembled. Then you can Refer to the Pictures During the Assembly Process. 2- Purchase a New Transmission. If you Hit a Snag or this Does Not Correct the Problem,  I am Here if You Require More Assistance. Hope this Helps. Let me Know What Happens, Please. May the All Mighty Bless You and Yours. Thanks.

Good Luck

John
