    Whirlpool Direct Drive (GSW9800PW2) Pausing During 1st Spin

    Complete Disassembly? DADoES, Are you saying it's best to completely disasemble, clean and re-assemble the gearcase, like shown in this video? Then clean with paint thinner (which I just bought), and reassemble using fresh 80w90 gear oil, and new Neutral Drain Kit?

    Whirlpool Direct Drive (GSW9800PW2) Pausing During 1st Spin

    Hi guys, Another question about replacing the Neutral Drain Kit. I've been unable to find a gasket for the transmission/gearcase. Is there a OEM/Whirlpool approved gasket making material that I can use to seal the tranny back once the kit is replaced?

    Brisnat81: I think you may have it. Would changing the gearcase oil solve the issue or am I looking at a total gearcase replacement here?

    Whirlpool Direct Drive (GSW9800PW2) Pausing During 1st Spin

    Yes, it goes silent. Happened again last night, and during the pause I didn't hear the pump running or anything. Pump runs continuously when the motor is running on direct drive, right? Correct me if I'm wrong.
