Picked up a new old stock drive basket assembly and am wondering if any of you apply grease to the rollers or shaft? Seems to be very hit or miss with getting the brake to stop without jerking the whole tub. Any input is greatly appreciated.

The only method I know of to cure this problem was from an article I read like 17+ years ago from davesrepair.com:

Article
I have actually done that method; however, the tub basket gradually stops and really takes its time when a full load of towels is in there. I have read that a small amount of grease should be applied to the rollers. I'm not sure if any of you do that, or just stick the new drive basket assembly right in.

Direct drive washers with very hard breaking
I also invented this process of putting a tiny dab of grease in the brake drum. I probably have done this at least 100 times it seems to work great, you can put a tiny bit of grease on the rollers, but that won’t have anything to do with the stopping to fast.
When the basket slams to a stop too fast, it could actually break the outer tub or knock the suspension out of kilter, and as Dave says in his fix for this problem, it can break or strip the basket drive block. It could not possibly however, break the drive coupling Between the motor and the transmission. John | ||

"Well how does it look in the video"
Since I'm blind, I can't comment on how it looks, but it sounds great. Very smooth, and comes to a stop quickly but not aggressively so. I'd say it's perfect. :) I watched the debut video on Youtube featuring your newest UFC machine. The basket drive didn't seem to have a problem in that video. Was that the original one, the new stock one, or this one? If it was the original, why did you replace it? It seemed fine to me. Ryne | ||

My 96 machine
The basket drive in my new video wasn't original to the 96 machine. The original basket drive was shot. This was the basket drive I had purchased new last year for my 94 machine. For some reason when I put it in the 96 machine, it became very aggressive. I was able to apply some grease, but it needed a lot and still was hit or miss. The one in the video is near perfect. I'll be uploading some more videos soon.
