Will the transmission swap?  Nope, not that one.  Your machine has two speeds and the machine above has just one, as it's at the bottom of the model line.  I think any other model would have a compatible transmission.  The "Regular Action" and "Gentle Action" selector buttons are what you want to see on a donor machine.

Keep looking.  You may regret the decision to retire your faithful Maytag after using something else.

The bottom half of the transmission in the A606 (large capacity) is shorter than the one in the A106 (std capacity), meaning the whole transmission is not a direct swap.  You can pull parts from the 106 trans (top, gears, etc), but that is about it.

The A106 in the photos is from the 70's.  By then the bakelite agitator was LONG gone, and the gear set was the same 63 OPM as the rest of the Maytag washer line.

Ben's got it right.

Never mind.

I made an assumption that seemed logical to me, but didn't qualify it with "let's wait for the experts to comment."

I guess my post in your first thread was more accurate.  Maytags are like old VWs -- the guts from one will pop right into another (except when tub capacities are different, as Ben stated above).

What you could do, and I've done before, is change the complete cabinet, put in the 2 speed motor, and you will have all the features of a 606, except the larger tub.

This washer does have a power-fin agitator, so the agitation speed is the same as an A606. It is a standard capacity washer however so only the top of the transmission can be used on a A606 [ the top is the part that usually fails on older MT washers ]

This A106 would still have the less desirable Hot wash Warm rinse water combination, so you have to reset the water temp switch after a Hot wash fill to get the more desirable better rinsing Cold rinse.
