So I am in the process of restoring my 1994 Kenmore washer. I replaced the clutch with a 6 pad, commercial grade quality one (purchased from Lorrain furniture) The clutch came with the green spring. I notice that with the brand new brake drive assembly tube I bought, it only works with the blue spring on the clutch. With the green spring on, the tub doesn't catch the brake for some reason. However, with the original basket tube assembly, it works fine with the green spring. Any thoughts on this?

Correct. The tub did not catch the brake once I replaced the drive basket tube assembly using the clutch with the green spring. I was told the machine needs to use the blue spring on the clutch, yet the brand new clutch I bought came with the green. I’m confused with the color of the spring and why one is working with the old drive basket and the other isn’t. Sorry, hope this is clear.

Here is the clutch I am using:
https://www.ebay.com/itm/202788230005... It came with the green spring. What is the difference between the blue and green spring? I'm not sure which is correct for my style machine. | ||
