Before you can replace the washer transmission you need to have an idea on how to remove it and how to install the new one.

You will also need to know how the transmission works to be able to diagnose it properly.

A repair company will charge about $250 to replace the transmission or gear box in your washer.

If you do it yourself, you could do it for at least half that price.

The job of the transmission is make the washer agitate when the motor runs in a counterclockwise direction and make it spin when the motor runs in a clockwise direction.

If any of the internal gears break or wear out, the transmission will need to be replace. It is possible to rebuilt the transmission, but I don't do any rebuilding I replace them. So I don't have any information on rebuilding at all.

To be able to replace the transmission you will need to remove the agitator first.

Then you will need to remove the cabinet, the pump, the motor wire harness and the motor.
