Lawn Boy walk-behind lost 3rd gear

My 1993 walk-behind started slipping/chattering in 3rd gear recently. All the transmission gears look perfect and I changed the grease, but the problem is still there. The handle vibrates and it feels like the gears are trying to mesh. The belt is fine and so are 1st and 2nd. Has anyone experienced this problem? The shifter cable does not appear to be adjustable, else I would try to lengthen it a tad. I am thinking that the transmission lever may not be moving far enough for 3rd gear to engage. The only clutch seems to be in the drive wheels, so all gears would be affected, right?
