It acts like it wants to move. I have replaced the belt and the tensioner seems fine. I can turn the transmission by hand, but it doesn't seem that easy.

Please keep us posted,and I hope the info at ww.applianceaid will be sufficient to do the job. Sorry, I just checked that site and they don't give tranny replacement info. You might try Google

Machine works great and I ordered the parts on a Tueday afternoon at 2:30 and they were at my door on Wednesday evening. Had this not been a washer dryer combo that costs $800.00 to $900.00 to replace I would not have done it.
