1993 MTD "Bad to the Bone" model 133m660g352
My riding mower has trouble shifting between gears. It does not matter if the engine is running or not. Sometimes, to get it shift between gears, I have to heave my body weight forward and backwards to get it to click into gear. There are other times, when the shifter will not budge and it wants to stay in forward/ reverse. Which can be frightening when you have the parking brake on but it still rolls forward because it is stuck in that position. I don't know if it is the actual transmission or the shifter. What do you all think?
