| I have a Sears craftsman GT, Koeller vtwin 22, 6 speeds/50" cut mower. When I finally got the engine running I find that the transmission is inopperative. The shifter that is in the middle under the steering wheel appears to function normally but the high/low shifter located on the right side will not budge and seems to be stuck in the nuetral position. Penatrating oil, tapping, rocking it back and forth have given no results. Before I take the transmission out and crack the case, any suggestions? |

| I hope that it is just stuck and some running will loosen it up. Run it through the gears-give it some run time. If you have confirmed that the trans is in neutral (IE axle not spinning in the hub for example) and there is belt input (the pulley is for sure spinning with the clutch out)- it looks like you're goin' in! |

| I bow to your insight, I just drove the tractor across my driveway. I did what you said about letting it idle and the tranny warmed up pretty well. I got the shaft to move slightly, more Kroil and idling, and finally out it came! Thanks again for taking the time to answer my post, you're a life saver, Bert. |

| Glad it worked out, but your persistence gets the credit. Thanks for reporting back. |
