Hey fellas how's everybody doin?
Got a pile a snow throughout the last couple days and decided to flash the ol crawler, she performed great.
Got the driveway cleared and walked it back to the shop, put the blade down, put er in neutral and let the clutch out and the engine stalls!
Start it back up and put it in first gear and begin to let the clutch out and the engine stalls. Tried reverse, engine stalls.
I really hope my trans hasn't piled up...
It's snowin like crazy!
Any ideas are greatly appreciated
Thanks Boy's

Sounds like it may be stuck in 2 gears. Pop the cover off the trans. and take a look.

Hey Guy's
Well after checking clutch pedal freeplay (which was excessive) and readjusting, everything's back to normal.
I do still suspect something is wrong with the transmission just from the clunking coming from it in neutral with the engine running.
Going to pull the cover off this afternoon and have a look.

Hi,

Oh, yeah. Water seeps in and lies on the bottom and freezes. That would clunk and could also cause interference which made it seem stuck.
