If adjusting external linkage adjustment does not work, probably the tractor needs to be split and the forward/reverse clutch packs need adjusting/shimmed. There were some of these that were not adjusted correctly when new and if it has ever been disassembled, chances are good that it was not readjusted properly. It is a very tedious adjustment that needs special tools to do. It is very costly to have done, but can make a world of difference in operation of the tractor. There is several hours labor involved with this repair. If you have the manual, you can look at this procedure and see it is pretty complicated. If you decide to take it to the dealer, I would question them to see if they are familiar with the latest procedures, since there is an updated procedure for shimming. Good Luck!
