Comments (1)Try your local repair shop for a "dead unit"that has a good drive unit, it's not worth repairing with new OEM parts ,as the co$t would be more than the mower is worth...Sorry,Jim...See MoreKeeping the Honda HR214 but need advice
Comments (1)I have/had a similar problem with my 'new' 216 - the rear wheels don't turn backwards. After a bit of use it seems to be freeing up to the point where I am not bothered by it. Maybe you will have similar luck? If not, you may need a new tranny. The single-speeds are pretty cheap around $50 or so....See MoreHonda HR214 transmission problem
Comments (5)Everything got reassembled on Friday and HIGH_SPEED again works like the mower was new. If you find you're having trouble with the transmission either making a knocking sound when shifted to HIGH or no movement at all in HIGH, take the motor to transmission drive cover off to expose the transmission. Wash off the transmission or blow it clean with compressed air. Cycle the high/low shift lever on the mower handle to locate the high/low shift lever on the transmission. Look at the opposite end of the shaft from the arm where the shift cable attaches to find the gear shift cam; the cam is about 1" long. Look for a small notch in the side of the cam. Just beyond the notch is the surface that pushes on the end of the shifting shaft. The cam pushes on the end of a 1/2" long shaft, pushing it in to select HIGH and letting it spring out for LOW. Use an inspection mirror to see the point where the cam rides against the end of the shaft. If the end of the cam has a flat spot worn at the point of contact, you have found the problem. Only a small amount of metal need be worn away (1/16" - 1/8") for the transmission HIGH gear not to engage fully. As mentioned in the previous post, the replacement cam is Honda part P/N 22532-VA3-801 and sells for about $13. It's a pity there is no way to post some of the photos I took so readers could see exactly what to look for....See More1saxman
