Hey everyone. Hoping someone might have an idea of what's going on with my Lesco commercial plus belt drive. My tranny will go into reverse and every gear.

In reverse, tranny is actively engaged but when I release the brakes the belts will not engage/move the mower. The tranny still is actively working even after brakes are released.

Similarly, but different, in first the tranny is actively engaged, but when I release the brakes the tranny stops and the mower pops.

I can't tell what's going on with it... 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th are fine, a little jerky, but not bad. Any ideas on what it could be? I never use first anyways so not a huge deal, it's just bugging me that it's not working as it should and I can't figure it out
