or the nut holding it down is loose. The shaft coming out the top of the tranny is square and the hole in the shift lever is square.


its incredibly loose. the whole handle thing seems to just flop around at random.

you think i can tighten that nut and it might help? is it possible to overtighten it?

just to be clear, you mean have both brakes held down while shifting correct? it bucks like a bronco and does a wheelie when i release them, i guess i just need to quit being a pussy and let up on the brakes in a more control fashion.

that's the whole reason you're having trouble selecting the proper gears. Yes, tighten it.

Yes. Complete stop then change gears. Changing gears while the mower is moving will cause shift key wear.
