I Need a Transmission for a 16lb GE...

[geextrarinse]

Hi All!

Well, My Programmed GE, like the one Coldspot66 just posted about is in need of a tranny - or will be soon. It is still my only machine and I use it all the time but I'm noticing the tell tale oil drips inside the agitator post, andit also indexes pretty badly - rotates clockwise while it washes. I have a fresh tub seal ready to go but need to find a good Transmission to put in. Anyone have any suggestions? I know that someone was posting on here that they had a few standard capacity ones back last year - are there any left?

Please let me know - will be glad to pay for it! Just want to keep my baby running smoothly and prevent oil deposits on my clothes.

I also still need a speed shifter solenoid. Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks!

Ebay

I got mine on Ebay, brand new never opened or used. Works like a charm. Unfortunately it's not encased in metal like the original but I really didn't care too much about that. I didn't have to pay that much for it either. It's a pretty easy swap. (Be sure it's the short post tranny.)

do you remember the part number? - I barely do...

Not a problem...

The agitator will work on any transmission. The new ones use a different coupler and you can swap those out. I had to get new couplers for both of my agitators, swapped them out, and they work just fine. If you happen to get a tranny with the 20-tooth (I think that's right) spline then no changes necessary. Couplers are not expensive and easy to find. I have some spares here.

I don't know the part number but you could probably find out online from a parts vendor. I have a spare transmission but it's for an 18-lb machine so would do you no good.
