“Were much harder to remove and repair than the direct drive transmissions”
Since I’ve removed and installed mine quite a few times, it’s not all that bad. Even rebuilt the transmission about 4 years ago, was fairly straightforward. My Whirlpool according to Strictlybojack who I bought the machine from was in service from 1963 to 2005, only repairs it had from what I could tell was general things like the belt and pump, a few other odds and ends.
