My washer has a strong smell while in the wash and spin modes. It doesnt smell like electrical more like a burnt car clutch or rear end gear burning(it is coming from the bottom of the machine). I took it out today and I have a small amount of fluid build up on the coupler which has the same smell (no other appearent fluid leaks or build ups). I cant tell if this fluid came from the motor or the transmission, I am suspecting the transmission. Any inputs? Also if I have to change the transmission does the drive shaft just slide out or is it clipped up in the clutch area? The machine operates fine just has that smell.

Thank You
Mike
