You will have to dismantle this to find out for sure but my guess is that the shaft is not worn. Those shafts are pretty hard. If the shaft is worn the transmission is in need of being rebuild and not practical in terms of cost unless you find a scrap washer with a good transmission. I am suprised that this machine would run at all!!!

This will cause it to not engage with the pinion gears. Unfortunately, this would require the transmission be replaced. However, the manufacturer has discontinued the transmission 34526P and the substitute SQ3426P and neither are available.
