Maybe I'm just worrying for nothing. It isn't slipping at all and other than the issue I just had changing gears it is working perfect. I don't remember having to wait for the PTO to stop turning in the past though.

I wasn't throttling down when shifting. I don't understand what you mean when you say "if you release the clutch in between, the re-engage it, grinding is guaranteed".

I was backing up into the brush until it was about to stall, then pushing in the clutch pedal to keep it from stalling. Then I would put it in 1st and drive out of the brush chopping up the brush that was still in the mower as I pulled out. This was on an uphill slope as well so it was working pretty hard going uphill into the brush.

After 15 or 20 mintues of going back and forth into the brush, when I went to put it into 1st gear it started grinding. I would have to wait a bit and then it would go into gear without grinding and I would drive out of the brush. At one point it didn't seem to want to go into any gear without grinding. That is when I turned it off and was able to put it in gear, start it and drive back to the house. Once at the house everything seemed back to normal.

Reading through the manual on the maintenance charts it says to lube the clutch release bearing and clutch pilot bearing every 60 hours of operation. I still haven't found these zerks to lube them. When I open the hole in the left side of the clutch housing I can't see any zerks to lube? Where is that zerk in relation to where the opening hole is?

Thanks, Nathan
