My washing machine would not agitate or spin, after already replacing coupler and clutch.
Tools
Flat head screwdriver and socket set
Repair & Advice
I ordered the gearbox around 4:45pm on a Thursday, and somehow it was delivered before lunch the next day, which was awesome. My advice on the repair would be to watch a couple youtube videos. Seriously.

Problem
Washer was making a pulsing, grinding sound, like driving over a washboard road. The spin cycle wouldn't spin fast, leaving the clothes sopping wet. Hot mechanical smell.
Tools
Screw drivers (flat and Phillips), ratchet (7/16" & 1/2" sockets), channel lock pliers.
Repair & Advice
I had previously taken the inner tub off the drive block with the special spanner, so this time around, I was able to take the motor and transmission out from the bottom without having to fight. I don't know how easy that would be if you haven't taken stuff apart previously, as things tend to get stuck together over time. Just flipping the washer on it's back, after unplugging it and removing the water lines/drain, is the easiest way to go about it. Separate the drain pump from the motor and undo the three bolts holding the transmission, undo the wiring harness, and pull. Hopefully the motor and transmission come right out like it did with me. Undo the motor from the trans, take pictures of how all the washers and lock rings go in on the clutch assembly. Install the new clutch or old clutch on the new transmission. Make sure the clutch spring sits opposite the brake cam when reinstalling. The rest is just reverse of the disassembly.
