Whirlpool WPW10080230 Washer Clutch Retaining Clip OEM Part

Replaced transmission (that was the problem) and clutch (if you're going to tear it down put in a new clutch - they're cheap). APPRO's video was a big help. Everything went as they showed except transmission does not just slide out. You have to work it in and out several times. Once it breaks free it will slip out. This was my first transmission. It was not nearly as hard as I had thought it would be.

Took washer apart to find a bad Neutral Drain Transmission. Ordered part from here and fixed with no problems.

Replaced clutch, clutch (AP6012576 ), retaining clip ( AP6014902) , washer motor coupling (AP3963893 ) and cam agitator assembly. (AP4379828 ). Would have replaced the brake cam driver since it was accessible during the job but this part was not included in the AP6012576 kit, nor suggested by the web-page. The new cam agitator assembly comes w/ a 7/16"hex bolt, while my machine had a double-ended stud w/ a 9/16" head in the middle. The old retainer threads into the top stud and needs a 1/2" square drive bar to remove. I re-used the old retainer. Straightforward job for mechanically inclined. Took four hours which included set-up, disassembly, reassembly, test, and clean up. Make sure that you drain the water in the washer before disassembling anything. I used a deep roller tray and laid the machine unto its back, supported at the frame sides with four 4x4 blocks. Expect 1/2 gallons of water or thereabouts. Keep lots of rags handy. Hope the old girl will keep going as long as we do.

Replaced agitator dogs, the clutch retaining clip ( was missing). The cap that is placed on top was worn and did not sit down on the retaining clip as intended. I put the retainer clip on top of the cap. Hope that doesn't cause a problem. Waiting for a new selector switch as it only agitates in fast.
