ANSWER: Hello Garry:

On the Transaxle is an OEM Identification Plate. Send me the Information Off of This Plate, Please. With this Information, I can Locate the Proper Manuals and Better Assist You. From your Description and Depending on the Transaxle Model, it can be the Shifter Clutch Keys or the Shifter Fork is Worn. Are you Sure the Linkage is Operating Correctly? Hope this Helps. I am Here if You Require More Assistance. Let me Know What Happens, Please. Thanks.

Good Luck

Answer
Hello Again Gary:

Sorry for the Delay. The Breakdown for the Mower (13AU604H063) Does Not Show the Manufacturer of the Transaxle. I Suspected it to be a Peerless, but the Numbers Do Not Match a Peerless Model 600-618. Can you Send me the Transaxle Model Numbers Off the OEM Plate on the Transaxle, Please. However, for Transaxle Parts: if a Peerless Transaxle, go to this Site Addy; You can View a Breakdown/IPL of this Engine at this Site Addy, http://www.outdoordistributors.com/ and Select the P. Then Select Peerless. Then Select To View Parts List Click Here in the Upper Right of the Page. Then Select the Series Transaxle. Then Select the Transaxle File for your Transaxle. If a Dana/Foote/Spicer Transaxle, go this Site Addy; You can View a Breakdown of the Transaxle at this Site Addy; http://www.m-and-d.com/dana_foote_parts.html and Scroll Down to the View Dana/Foote/Spicer Parts Diagram Window. Now Scroll in this Window to your Model Transaxle. Hope this Helps. I am Here if You Require More Assistance. Let me Know What Happens, Please. Thanks.

Good Luck
