I recently picked up a 6216(not 6218 i messed the title up), after replacing the belts I put into gear and boom Im shooting through the yard in reverse, no matter what gear I put it in it only goes in reverse. also the variable speed lever wont go down, seems like its either hitting off something or its stuck.

Go to Simpicity Lawn Mower Questions | Simplicity Customer Service & Contact Us and download your manual and parts book.
I tried the numbers you quoted but it did not work.
The "gears" are as you have noticed are nothing more than set positions of the variable pulleys.
Forward, neutral & reverse and on the trans axle so unless you have crossed over the control rods have nothing to do with the speed selection mechanism.
