Where did the seller drop it from? The Empire State Building?
It was made by Maytag. How could it be damaged/a total loss from just hitting the floor?

Damaged MT Washer Transmission
These are actually very easy to seriously damage if they are dropped on or receive a blow to the input shaft end.
This is why I generally do not like to ship heavy items like transmissions.
Hi Bill, you might ask the seller if he will sell and ship the damaged transmission to you at a reduced price as you really only need the top cover and agitator shaft and you should really change the oil and maybe the lower O ring oil seal anyway.

Snubber Pads
I am surprised this Maytag wasn't making a terrible racket when I got it! When I removed the snubber today, the pads were nonexistent!

They don' treat their washer well down there.
How is the damper?

Missing damper pads
The inside of the aluminum damper Has to be very polished and smooth otherwise the polyester damper pads won’t last any length of time at all. You may need to replace the aluminum damper if it’s been in metal to metal contact.
