Rolling along, "err" less ...
Photo 1 From donor 106 the low mileage brake package and bearing. Snug fit and no free-play anywhere. Photo 2 After re-install I spin up the pully and immediately feel/felt a smooth wind-up of the spring that wasn't felt before. Photo 3 The tub clamp off the...

Not a new tub bearing and sleeve. Now installed is the used tub bearing and sleeve off the 106. 106 Tub bearing re-oiled. All parts smooth and like glass. Yes 2 transmissions combined to make 1. The upper shaft off the original 408 was "rusted" with a frozen spin tube...
Reg 40 wt
Have put in 40wt oil. More that 2 Tablespoons. If anything to much oil as some has been "flung" about. That means some how the "err" sound vibrates up the shaft to my hand at the tub bearing ?? Will have to feel/listen for the "err" sound on the brake as I move tub back and forth...

Stop the spin
Same issue on all load size settings ?? I would make sure hose from tub to water level switch is 100% clear. This includes outside tub nipple. Where the hose attaches. Also, remove water level switch and blow out with air.
