LX172 Transmission issues.

[Bibbop]

Hi all,
I have this really nice LX172 been serving me quite well for the last year or so. Shifting became quite hard as of late and ended up with the shifter breaking at the link point. Welded it back together and still having issues with the shifter being very stiff. Any ideas would be highly appreciated. Thanks for all the help.

Foam canon?

Possible drive belt has stretched so that when pushing clutch it is still trying to drive the transaxle. Does it shift any easier with engine off?
