    Transaxle locked in gear
    I have c Craftsman 16hp lawn tractor with a Peerless 206-545C transaxle. The transaxle is locked in gear and I cannot push the tractor. Upon examining the underside I noticed that the transaxle link is worn, cracked, and had actually fallen off the shift arm.
    I have ordered a replacement transaxle link. I would like to be able to push the tractor out of the weather. My question is: Should I be able to move the shift arm by hand to get the transaxle into neutral? Or does the fact that I can't shift by hand indicate that there is a more serious problem than just the broken transaxle link? Any ideas?

    Thanks,

    Could be messed up gears inside. Remove the transaxle and open it up if you are up to it.
