Thank you guys!
I got the transmission off eBay, the old one is completely seized. At least the wig wag shafts.
Guess badly oxidized/rusted inside due to water damage.
Still have to open it and see if I can save it. Must be a gunky mess inside.
The transmission I got an eBay I paid quite a bit for shipping and the transmission itself wasn't that much, in total was 160 bucks.
Seller told he would ship the best one he had and I actually thought to get one in better shape.
But I think I must consider myself lucky to have found one at least.
The agitator shaft was better in this new one but the spin tube was heavily damaged corroded where seals sits, so I used mine.
So in case I will fix the other transmission I will need a new agitator shaft and spin tube.
On that note I wanted to ask you something because I noticed something weird.
I noticed that when spinning empty the agitator wouldn't move along with the basket but would slow down and spin slower.
This didn't happen with the old tranny.
I don't think it's normal and I cannot figure it out why.
Agitation and spin by full goes as supposed, that's because agitator gets caught up with clothes and moves along with them, I think.
I don't know if this is a precursor of a transmission going bad too, and my only fear is that on half loads the agitator shaft seal will spin around the agitator shaft and that will shorten its lifespan, because not only will have to withstand the back and forth friction but also the spin friction of the spin tube+seal while spinning.
John, yes, sure I'm!
I have responded to your email not sure if you received it.
I am planning to come up this summer and go around job hunting.
The song:
As for the song is one of my 80s favourite, and the song I listened to while fixing it, nice lyrics too and I know quite a few guys with a similar story haha. Not sure if the video automatically mentions the music played, anyway it is: "Keep it coming" by Boyd Brothers.
