Linkage doesn't want to move at all into reverse but 1st is ok. Are there any known mechanical issues that they are prone to in this respect or is probably just gummed up inside the transmission? Problem 2 is the governor is getting to where it just doesn't want to respond anymore. We haven't opened it up yet, are there any particular issues they might have? [Reply]   [No Email]

This one has been kept outside for a while and I suspect things are just gummed up inside. The shift linkage goes so far and then things just start flexing. We'll have to open it up in the off-season and clean it out.   [Reply]  [No Email]
