As an update (maybe the last one), I am using my washer to do laundry now. I re-adjusted the clutch and tried to do a new break in as described in the manual. It seemed to work. I'm still trying to find new clutch pads, but the wife is happier waiting for me in clean clothes. Thanks all for...

OK. Still trying to locate the friction material for the clutch and break and have not turned them over yet. I did publish the movies if anyone wants to look and listen. The portion of the spin cycle (after cleaning and freeing the clutch)is here http://ubuntuone.com/1UwXaA3Dk1H94IraX2CMdR...

I have a 1-18 washer that has a leak (water dropping onto the transmission). Is this very difficult to fix? Are there seals still available? Can they be made if not available? I'm trying to fix it, but if not worth the effort then its going for parts or recycling. Any thoughts?
