Put a rope around it, lay it on it's side and give about 10 - 15 feet while the washer is blocked between two objects like two trees etc. and begin to tug, tug, tug, it will break loose. Be patient. If you have to, turn the whole thing upside down and pour water or oil in a soluable thickness under the agitator and let it sit for a day or two. It will come right off. It is the seal under the agitator is why you are seeing water on the tranny. An easy but not too cheap fix. Let me know if you need more assistance. sbollich@bellsouth.net Steve |

After I got the agitator out I began to take out all of the gut that was stil in it and as I rinsed, being careful not to get it into the shaft area, it still leaked out of the transmission. Is this an easier fix than the seal just slap some silicon around the base and let it dry? Or is this going to mean much more work and take apart the whole thing? Any help is greatly appreciated!

Thanks Geoff!!!! I just siliconed it, we'll see how that holds. And yes, I still have those manuals you sent me and I have been reading them and using them like crazy! They helped me to put the Wringer back together, to find a new agitator, and everything! Without them, I would still be working on the Wringer! THANK YOU!!!!!!
