Just bought a 10651 self propelled model and while going over the cables i found that the gear selector will not move. The cable is free in the housing but the lever on the transmission will not move. This is my first Lawn Boy so i am unfamiliar with what i should be looking for. does the engine need to be running before the gear selector will move? I am at work so i can't start it here. i just picked it up on my lunch break.:help:

Ok, The mower runs great, starts easy and no rattles or broken pieces. the only thing is the self propelled selector lever will not move from speed 1. It's not really a problem for me because i don't run when i am mowing anyway. ii would still like to know if anyone has an idea of what might be wrong.

You should be able to easily remove the bolts that hold the cover on the trans. Very carefully remove the cover (should be the bottom). You may find old, nasty grease in there, or some water and the components are rusted a bit. Just take a look and see if you can get things to start to move. Replace the grease, put the cover back on, and you should be off and running.
