Just as advertised
I ordered the transmission seprately from the tub seal. Just a little heads up.....the transmission comes complete with the tub seal. So hold on to your ten bucks or so. Anyway, I was not going to repair my washer until I pulled the video up on youtube. I couldn't believe how simple this was. I ordered all the parts and removed and installed them myself. Total spent was about $130.00. Saved a bunch of money and learned a little something along the way.
Easier said than done? Think twice
My only recommendation is to take the old transmission out before ordering a new one. After you remove the agitator which come off with a sharp upward pull and removing the air cap, you are then exposed to a Hub Nut ring that hold the transmission in place. This Hub nut ring which is a reverse ring, i.e must turn clockwise to open, is extremely difficult to open. You need a special tool, spanner wrench, which is expensive. Once your turn the hub nut ring clockwise to open (it has an arrow on it to show open) the spin basket turn clockwise as well. So you have to somehow hold the spin basket in place while turning the nut (2 persons job). After toiling 3 days I could not get this hub nut ring open. If you are able to open it you might consider replacing the washer split ring tub bearing and the hub washer as well. A good place to look at your washer diagram is www.geapplianceparts.com
Perfect fit, worked great
**NOTE: It does come with the rubber tub seal... at least mine did.
I'm a DIY-er type of guy so when our washer started howling, I decided to try and fix it. The part arrived quickly and very nicely packaged to protect it. Although it's not the easiest washer part to replace, a good DIY-er type of person can do it. The part fit perfectly and works great. My wife is much happier now that we don't have a freight train coming through the house when doing laundry.
