leaky (washing machine) transmission

78kitcar, yes, we've been told that before...UGH! so the new water heater may last 5 years not like 20 the one before it. As for the washer, not even sure the transmission is still available or not. MAY hold onto it and take it apart for a look see. However, in the mean time, Barb would like to have some clean cloths. It takes me awhile to get to things, IE, the faucet I bought her last year for her birthday and just got round to putting it in last month, and that took a week cause I took the sink out to make the brace for under the faucet. I don't work fast. The days of coming home at 9 PM and having a new timing chain on my 340 by midnight or so is over. Thanks again for the conformation of what we've heard before.
