Question by terrance l: my poulan pro riding lawn mower and when i put it in gear my engine runs fine but i get a jerking motion?
the engine runs ok but as i go along it like it slips in and out of gear

Best answer:

Answer by Carl
Does it have a hydrostatic transmission or a belt?
If it has a belt it could need a new one or maybe it’s too loose.
If it has the fancy transmission it could need more oil or the filter is clogged up.

If you have a stick shift that move by it self into neutral and you have to hold the stick in the gear so it will not shift out. Your gear box could have worn gears. Not a good thing.

    I got a kick out of the rightie-tightie, lefty-loosey grafics! The guy that fixes mowers in town is fugly, If they had her working there, most guys would break their mowers on purpose all the time, great for business!

    not on the older deck…….replace the whole darn assembly,especially if some moron welded the blade to the spindle ,when he broke mount bolts off in housing……use PB Blaster on those bolts so they won`t break off……fyi
