Amy, depending on how old your mixer is there are 2 types of clutches for 1st gear.these could be your problems--a key is sheared on the shaft--shaft/gear is broken.the bottom part of the mixer where you put on the attachements is called the planetary,does it look like it has moved down?you could tell if the dough hook,wire whip,ect,ect is hitting the bottom of the bowl.if this is the case its just simply tightening the 2 nuts next to the beater shaft.if this is not the case you would have to dissasemble the transmission.let me know.

Thank you.....
We actually had tigtened the nuts too much.... Once loosening them the first gear speed worked properly.
We loosened them to just finger tight is it ok to run the machine like that, or should they be able to be tightend harder without this first gear problem happening...
The reason we were tinkering with the nuts to begin with is that there was a small amount of oil dripping from this area. We had recently moved the mixer up on to a table (tilted the machine forward and down to lift)... would that cause it to drip for a period of time or is it an indication of another problem ?
Thank you so much !
Amy
