Transmission breakdown. Don't worry about drilling a hole through you workbench I used a tall trash can to hold the transmission steady and upright.

You have 2 bolts and a cover plate on top of the pitman arm. In 1966, they went to a snap ring and square washer.

More trans disassembly and o-ring replacement. The best way I found to remove the o-ring was to use a dental pick and continuously pick at the o-ring in one area. Once the o-ring splits, it'll fall out of the groove. It's a time consuming pain in the ass, but keep at it!

O- ring replacement continued.

AMAZING and a LIFE SAVER too!

WOW! Thanks for all of the great information! I really appreciate you taking the time to post these instructions tips and parts list since nobody I have found so far knows anything about these older models and or how to fix them. O.K. now I (think) I am ready for the challenge to do the repairs. I will photo document as I go through the process -which I expect will take some time - and then post them here so everyone can see the progress. I can't wait to get rid of the temp washer (Whirlpool WTW5100) ITS A NOISY ONE!

DOH!!

I forgot an important part #. Maytag transmission oil part #Y056080.

It would be great if you could photo document the entire process!
