Hey guys-
I have a 90's model scag belt driven walk behind mower, SW-36 13ka to be exact. Anyhow I bought a brand new transmission for the mower (because the old one was popping in every gear except 5). I installed the new transmission but have been having some issues with it. This is a Peerless 700-070 transmission
- Transmission does not engage into gear unless Im on level ground. My driveway is on a steep hill and my transmission will not engage. The knee bar goes into the gear I want it to, but the mower acts like its still in neutral.
- Also, while in neutral, the engine shuts off if I let go of the top handles (without the blades on).This has normally only happened when I have the blades running.
Both of these issues just started occurring after I installed the new transmission.
Not sure if any of you guys have had a similar issue like this before or know what could have caused this--whether I messed up the installation or if its a bad tranny.
Thanks for the help!
