I disconnected cables, took off shifter arm and sprayed PB Blaster penetrating oil on the shaft coming out of the transaxle, let it sit a while and then started working it manually with a wrench back and forth from reverse to forward . Put it all back together and now it is shifting just fine. Thanks for the input on this shifting issue.
Now I need to locate a dump bed fender, one is broken and i might need to replace the seat.
Thanks,
JimWil
