LT1050 Transmission Issue

[chastst]

Guys - i have two issues with my LT1050. First it needs a flywheel key, but currently I cannot get it to the shop because the hydro transmission is stuck. I have pulled the release lever, but transmission will not release. Is there another relief, release, etc. that I can work with so I push this thing on the trailer? Thanks so much (grass is getting long!!).

I have the exact same issue with the same model. Play with the external linkage near the release lever and it should unstick it, but I do not know why this is happening - perhaps a flaw in the hydro transmission.

Yes. It's a linkage issue, not an internal trans problem.
