    Riding Lawn mower jerks on take off when put in gear
    I have a Craftsman 16 HP riding mower.
    When I put in 2nd, 3rd, 4th, or 5th gear and let the clutch out slowly, it jerks to the extent that it nears throws you off the mower. I have checked the idler pulley & it seems to be working OK. Reverse seems to work just fine. Could you help me with this problem.
