Is it difficult to replace the transmission on this Maytag washer Model number MAV8057AWW? Are there any special tools required? Are there any step by step instructions for this. Should there be any other parts replaced with replacing the transmission? Any assistance will be greatly appreciated.

with heavy load, spin cycle still leaves clothes/towels wet. Doesn't seem to spin dry fast enough. Already checked the thrust bearing and pulley, it was ok. Replaced the belt, still same problem. I thought all i needed was a spanner wrench for the nut for transmission.

I looking to replace the trans/thrust kit, just wasnt sure what was all needed to complete this. I thought once I removed the nuts with the spanner wrench the transmission assembly would pull straight up without anything holding it back. i didnt see a service flash on this.

there really isnt any noise with this, just doesnt spin fast enough. when i pulled the thrust bearing and pulley to see if the inner plastic place may had broke everything appeared to be ok. I had a new kit that as long as i didnt open it i could return it. So i match everything to the new kit and all seemed to look ok.

Over time there can become a build up of detergent which causes it fill the machine up and see if there is suds without putting anything in it. Sounds silly but it creates enough speed to not spin properly. Again make sure the motor slides back and forth on the motor plate freely. The white helix piece wears down and doesn't pull the machine off the brake fully. This would be my guess without seeing it. If it runs properly just not spinning fast enough I deffitnyl think it is NOT the tranny or motor.
