We have an older machine that is not "high efficiency". after looking at new machines I determined I wanted to repair mine. Most challenging part was the nut was severely corroded on the top of the transmission. The spanner wrench just rounded it off. I ended up carefully drilling down through the nut and then using a sharp screwdriver to split it and pried the pieces out. You have to be careful not to damage transmission threads or the tapered seat on the drum. Do-It-Yourself Rating: Repair Time Estimate: 1-2 hours
