I note that the washer was only working normally since last March. |

The top of the shaft that the drive pulley turns goes all the way into the transmission and the pinion gear is held onto the top end of the shaft with a screw that screws down into the shaft. The screw either came out or the head broke off the screw, in either case its either another transmission or an even bigger repair if you try to fix that transmission.
A new Speed Queen top load or front load washer is a far better machine than this old MT ever was, so there are great replacements available if you don't want to fix this washer. |
