If the agitator is held from spinning, the clunking stops, but as soon as the agitator is relased and begins to spin it clunks, jerks and momentarily stops again. Is this a serious repair problem, I can fix it myself or is it time to replace the machine. It has washed many a load of laundry.

It is a moderately expensive repair and one you can do without special tools (just takes time and patience) but given the age of your machine and the cost of a new transmission I would opt for a replcement machine. Good luck.
