 The two different transmissions for DD washers are identical, you can put the ND trans in but it will not spin unless you stop and start the washer after in goes into drain and spin. If you can't get the SD transmission you can use the NDT by removing the cover and taking out the ND parts and then it will go directly into spin when the motor reverses.
Your washer was built between 1983 and 1985, the serial# will tell us exactly when it was built. | ||

The clunking during agitation on the old transmission are worn splutch teeth on the agitator shaft, not worn gears, this wear in the splutch area will not hurt anything.

Non-neutral drain, direct, drive transmissions
Hi Eric, glad you’re getting some use out of this washer.
I have no idea where the whirlpool will actually supply neutral drain transmissions again. I can’t imagine there’s much demand for them. At this point your best bet might be to buy a new transmission and take the neutral components out of it reseal it and put it in your washer. I’ve never really heard one of these direct drive washer’s it doesn’t have some clunk in the transmission I think that’s pretty normal for them. I wouldn’t worry about it. John | ||
