Transmission Fluid
Heh, well, changing the fluid is the easiest part of the resto. Remove bolts, crack trans open, drain fluid, pour in new fluid, reinstall trans cover with new gasket. Brake package replacement is easy too but a special tool is needed to remove and install brake package.

Tub Brake
It's definitely the tub brake. If I reach in and just hold the tub while it's agitating, the indexing stops. No force even required. I can also turn the tub backwards if I push on it, against the direction it's indexing.
Now I just have to figure out how to fix the brake......

I may be of assistance...
Can you post the model/serial? I didn't see it in the above posts. I just may have access to the orig service manual or at least I should be able to find some instructions on tear down and rebuilding of the trans and the brake package repair and adjustment. I can fax them to you or whatever... QSD can attest to the large amount of older books and manuals I have access to... The brake tool is still very much available and is a small price to pay for if you and your Maytags are to stay together for a while. That is if you don't already have it...

Model & Serial
It's a Maytag Model 126. Serial # is 317739SS.
You can see a picture of the original nameplate here:

From the previous owner. I can't believe I never took a picture of the nameplate myself!
If you've got access to the brake rebuild of it, or some similar machine I'd be interested in seeing the service manual for it since I've been pretty well flying blind on it so far. I don't have access to a fax, so it would have to be emailed if you have that ability.
Thanks in advance.

I'm working on it...
Between my new wringer and the other half in the hospital for a couple of days, I'm B.U.S.Y. I'll have a care package for you shortly.
