      The plastic gear on the bottom of the shaft does jump out of its track from time to time. Nothing breaks just shifts. Very frustrating but once it happens, and you catch it, the whole project shifts in your favor. 😮

    Great video, well done. I have a 25 year old Kenmore (January 1993) that stopped spinning. I figured it was the coupler but it was in good shape however I noticed oil sprayed around the inside of the washer body and a coating on the gearcase. Figuring I had nothing to lose I used this video to remove and disassemble the gearcase. When I opened it up the oil was a very thick, opaque, shimmery brown color. It was about as thick as honey. I drained it out and cleaned off the parts as best I could, but the shaft still would not go into spin mode. I took it apart again and used degreaser on the plastic clutch mechanism at the bottom of the shaft. Suddenly the gunk that was holding it popped loose and clutch was able to work. I went over it again and made sure all parts were clean with no oil residue and free to move on their shafts and pivots. I refilled the case with 90W gear oil, sealed it up, and re-installed it. I just ran a load and it is working per spec.
    I figure the old oil was causing the parts to stick together and the movement of the parts was churning it up and pressurizing the oil until it blew out the vent or past the shaft seal, onto the spinning clutch which sprayed it around.
    Two points of difference on my machine: First, the gear had a circular punch mark on the middle tooth and the rack had a large circle on the middle groove rather than lines. Second, the thrust washer on the top of the clutch clip was a smaller circular cup washer with a tab, not the larger flanged washer seen here.

    Great video.. I have a whirlpool top load that runs the same way and the setup is the same, direct drive shaft.. Mine was agitating but not spinning when it reached that cycle. Changed the clutch still didn't spin. Checked the coupler and it was good. With the cabinet off I checked to see if the clutch was spinning when the machine was on, it wasn't. Took off the transmission and manually turned the motor, didn't turn. Decided to go into the transmission. As soon as I set free the plate that covers the transmission, where the oil and gears are, about a cup of water rushed out. So I decided to drain all of the oil that was in the transmission, and half was oil and half water. Cleaned the transmission with kerosine and a clean paint brush, allowed it to dry, topped back up the transmission with 16oz oil and assembled the machine.. Machine is now perking, agitating, spinning and working like brand new.. Before this episode I had to change the tub, upper and lower shaft seals due to a leak. I guess what happened was water leaked into the transmission causing the gears to slip.

    i have Maytag top loader washing machine model # MVWC425BW0, and is making loud noise only when spins and rinse (feels like air craft taking off) i thought it was ball bearings but one person told bearings are machine pressed and can not be replaced have to replace the whole gearcase (that is a big job) so i thought lets first try changing drive pulley/ clutch kit but it did not work, my question is do you have a video specifically for this model how to preplace gearcase and where to get it from, thank you verymuch.

    Is there an oil seal in the clutch drum turning gear? I have oil contaminating my clutch, and it seems to be leaking past a seal betwen the shaft and the clutch drum turning gear. The oil seal in the transmission cover also looks suspect.

    I have an older Whirlpool direct drive that goes through all the cycles fine but it doesn't swing very far back and forth when it's agitating.
    I've had it apart 3 times and replaced everything that is suggested in the RUclips videos I've watched. Transmission rebuilt, new clutch and new agitator dogs. (IT"S NOT THE DOGS)!
    The bottom agitator shaft can easily be held still by hand like something is slipping?

    Looked at the clutch in spin mode like you said in your other video, and noticed the clutch not moving. Could it be the transmission?

Coupler is good, motor is turning good, agitates good, drains / pumps out water good, timer advances but doesnt spin. Motor sounds like its spinning agitator but doesnt.

    Im gonna email you in a few.. This is what i was talking about with Washer Agitator Cam Bearing the plate and ball. In this video the indent on the disc goes down on the ball im just worried bc when i took mine apart it had the flat surface on the ball but bc i had another one from different model i opened it up and the indent was up on the shaft with flat surface down on the ball opposite this video but it also has that different tranny shaft that goes on top of the cam bearing disc that had a indent in it(i sent you a pic. In this video the shaft that stays in gearcase that the two gears go on, one metal and that the yellow gear goes on, looks like mine bc its smaller and the shape. The one i found at my house had a shaft that was thicker and flat on the top and my gears washer and c-clip wouldnt fit. So now im a little worried wondering what to do indent down or did someone in the factory from assembly put disc in the wrong way ughhh i guess I'll just go with this video. I know the Agitator cam bearing 285205 provides a smooth surface for the agitator cam to rotate on but im worried i wont do it right. Both had same gearcase number on the gearcase but different part numbers on the parts inside and on the cover. Weird but i gotta figure this out. Just gotta love these vids!!!!!!!!

    Our transmission is leaking oil out the top, and also out toward the motor (it smells burning during the cycle). My husband and I ran the motor independently - no burning smell. So we isolated the problem to the transmission. Should we order a new transmission on ebay, or work with what we have and repair the small parts. Also, we did take the cover off the gearcase and the oil inside was frothy with lots of bubbles. Oil coming up towards the clutch and I assume toward the coupler/motor since there is a burning oil smell when the two are coupled. We are not washer repair people so we dont know quite exactly what were doing, but we have five kids and more time than money right now. Could both the seals have gone out the same time? Could a failing mechanism inside cause friction and frothing? Any ideas what could be causing the problem???

    transmission out of washer both spin freely. Since I am currently unemployed I
    have to determine if its the transmission or something like the brakes dragging
    or basket drive assembly. i noticed the cam has no play outside the washer but
    while turning the basket drive assembly counterclockwise to get it back up into
    the washer it is difficult maybe its supposed to be? Also once in the washer
    there is alot of play in cam. One other thing I noticed was once the
    transmission was in the coupler would spin clockwise a little bit but not
    enough to turn the tub then I would hear a click and it wouldnt turn anymore
    and it never turned far enough for the tub to spin. Is that click something
    locking up with the brakes or in the transmission? i disassembled the brakes
    took of the spring to make sure they move freely. There was no play in the
    brakes so they seem okay to someone who doesnt know what they are supposed to
    feel like. Also we replaced the transmission fluid with 90 wt. Ugh someone please help we have been watching
