When the washer is agitating the drum is also spinning. It looks like the brake is not working properly. Can the brake be replaced seperately or is it integrated into the transmission? I cannot find a part number for the brake only the transmission assembly? Is there a breakdown of the transmission to show where the brake is??? Thanks for any help.

Here is the part.
