    Default Fix one problem, now a new one stumps me

    Model Number: mav5758eww
    Brand: Maytag
    Age: 6-10 years

    I’ve done some research but nobody has mentioned anythingjust like my problem
    >>
    HERE IS WHAT HAPPENED
    Was using the washer and heard a clunk sound, washer stoppedworking. Finally found that the
    e-clip/c-clip had broken and the main shaft and the large pulleyhad fallen off. I called a local parts place
    for replacement, he sent me to Lowes said same thing butcheaper. I bought new clip and installed it easy enough, but…

    HERE IS MY PROBLEM NOW
    Now my washer spins slowly and the agitator works during thespin cycle.
    I’ve checked the belt, its ok motor pivots easily too. Checkedthe brake housing during operation and it dose not get even warm. I placed thelittle plastic clog thing on the end of the shaft and turned both directionswith no resistance. Read elsewhere this means bad trans. What do you all think.Something else I could try??

    Yes, Your transmission has gone out.

    Here's the transmission for your model you can order here:
    Manufacturer part number 35-6615 is RepairClinic item number 1472816
    35-6615

    If you change the transmission yourself, its a big job, be prepared for an all day job.
