My Stanley riding lawn mower runs good and mows good, But It only goes slow.. What is the problem? It just started that this year and is about 10 years old. It takes forever to do our acre yard....

Make sure the bypass isn't activated, and check the condition of the drive belt. Is the tranny making any unsual noises.

When was the belt last replaced? If you say more than 5 years ago, I would check it's condition and also the condition of the belt tensioner.

No the transmission isn't making any sounds. We were told it will cost around 900. to fix it.... The mechanic thinks... It might be in the transmission.

Does the clutch have full travel when you press it down with your left foot? If it doesn't the belt won't have sufficient tension on it.

I'm out of options here. Hopefully your transmission isn't bad. I personally wouldn't spend $900 to have one worked on.
