Here are 3 types of Lawnmower Transmissions:
Oreo SittingOne of the most popular transmission is the hydrostatic or "full hydro." These transmissions are generally the strongest, but they're also the most expensive. Hydrostatic transmissions have two gear positions, forward and reverse, and the more you press on the accelerator, the faster you'll go. You pay for this convenience in power: the transmission itself consumes one to two horsepower.

Other types of transmissions require shifting.

The second most popular type of tractor transmission is called "variable speed." This transmission features one or two forward gears and one reverse gear. Like the automatic transmission in cars, lower forward gears are used for climbing and higher gears for cruising. Variable speed transmissions are not as strong as either hydrostatic or standard gear transmissions.

Tecumseh Peerless 829 series TransaxleThe third type of transmission, known as "straight line" or "standard gear," is like a stick shift car. These are simple and strong, but gear ratios are limited.

All transmission types have advantages and disadvantages.
