Description

This transmission drive shaft is a direct-replacement internal shaft for the washer transmission/gearcase that transfers motor torque to the tub/agitation assembly, restoring proper rotation and load-bearing function inside the gearbox. What it does

• Transfers rotational force from the transmission to the washer's tub/agitation components.
• Supports smooth gearcase operation and helps maintain proper spin/agitate cycles.
• Commonly replaced when the washer won't agitate or spin, makes grinding/clunking noises, or the tub wobbles.
• Works as an internal wear part inside the transmission/gearcase and is not a standalone motor or pump component.

What's included

• One transmission drive shaft (single shaft only).

Install notes

• Disconnect power and water supply before servicing the appliance.
• Gearcase/transmission disassembly is typically required; expect to remove the washer cabinet and transmission to access the shaft.
• Inspect surrounding seals, bearings, and gears for wear while the unit is open; replace as needed per the service manual.
