The engine of the Honda lawn mower starts and runs perfect but it has to be pushed. It started doing this last year but now it's terrible. The cable was out to the end of the adjustment so I replaced it and that didn't help one bit. What else could it be?

It's got a belt that seems OK. It could be stretched, but how do you tell. If it's the transmission, I'll junk it.

I agree with the first poster, your belt is off. Turn the mower over and you will see that between the blades and the motor is a pulley. That pulley should have a belt around it that travels to another pulley between the rear wheels.

The 'clutch' so to speak is basically a lever that pushes or pulls the belt tighter, the tighter the belt, the faster the wheels turn.

Between the rear wheels is a small box that transfers power from the pulley on top of it to the axle. It is possible that this box (called a trans axle) is broken and can no longer transfer the power. If the belt moves the pulley on top of the trans axle and it still does not go, that is the issue.

theres 3 things it could be if you've changed the cable! 1,take the back wheels off in there is two cogs in each wheel,check that the teeth haven't worn.2,check the belt between the engine and the gear shafts,on some you can adjust.3,the gear shafts in it is a small gearbox witch cant fixed.hope this helps

What is the drive mechanism? If it is a belt or chain it might be off of its track or broken all together.

If the belt/chain, or other drive mechism, appears to be okay, it might be the clutch. I imagine the clutch is a much harder and costly repair.
