I just added you to my network. It seems like you did everything ok, just that I had to confirm you. Let me know.

i just saw your question about the water seals
i bought 5 of them because i have 6 rollermatics, 5 are functional machines (or will soon be) and the last one has a completelty destroyed tub so it will be a parts machine. so i bought 5 for the five i intend to run.
i'm sorry i cannot let one go at this time. your's might be fine, they don't take a lot of abuse like a perforated tub washer seal would. i mean they are never really completely immersed in water as when the washer spins and throws it's water the water level never rises to the height of the tub seal. at least not in a rollermatic and i would assume the same for a unimatic from what i have seen of them so far in the tech manual on them. personally i would concentrate on getting a water and oil bellows, that you def will need!

Thanks Peter!
Don't worry, I was just kidding.
Mine is very worn, there are some "bubbles" on it's surface but it still usable and of course I won't touch it.

Little update tonight
As my boss just said he's going to help me removing the transmission/motor from the machine, I'll just do it tonight.
2 people are better than one for this step as one can hold everything on the bottom while the other removes the nut.
I just want to recheck the steps, like always:
- disconnect the drain hose
- disconnect the tub-to-pump hose
- disconnect the motor and solenoid wires (is there any special thing that requires extra atention?)
- unscrew the nut while holding the motor. (I'm considering it's very heavy, isn't it?)
- carefully remove the motor and transmission from it's place (slowly and carefuly to don't damage the water seal or the transmission shaft.)
What's the best position to keep the motor after it's removed? If it keep it upwards, won't it's weight damage the pump? If I put it on it's side, won't the oil leak?
I won't disassemble the transmission today. I'll wait for Brian.
