Whirlpool 6-0560800 Oil OEM Part

Perfectly! Replacing Agitator Shaft is not for the faint of heart. Replacing output shaft pinion gear on the bottom of the agitator shaft requires care, experience and patience with pressing/driving drift pins without damaging the gear itself. One slip of the drift/punch or press apparatus will ruin the gear/teeth face and will lead to failure of the transmission internally when put back into service. As best as I can tell the pinion gear is discontinued and no longer available so take care! Be sure to replace all seals, gaskets and transmission oil for a comprehensive long term repair. I'm sure a new tub bearing and stem repair kit will also be in order if your making this repair. Best of luck everyone!

Not one to patch a job, I ordered all seal kit, bearing kit, new shaft keeper, transmission oil, spanner wrench. I have the newer version of the agitator shaft so it does not have the groove for the internal clip. I Custom ground a thick washer so that as the agitator shaft goes into the transmission it fit flush into the slot for the old style shaft clip. With the plastic keeper in position I marked and pull the shaft. I drilled a hole that would be fit tight against the custom washer and used an eight penny nail bent around the shaft as a permanent internal keeper. The agitator shaft will not come out of the transmission again.

American appliances are very easy to fix in comparison to imported ones. Just open the washer and take de transmission cover out change the pinion inside removing a simple retainer. In the agitator there is a screw that you loosen it take it out, then de tub and take the shaft out and put a new seal and a new c clamp and reinstall everything back. Top-loading washers are very easy to fix in comparison to front-loading washers that are very difficult to fix.
