    Loud noise during spin cycle and if I hold the agitator during the spin, noise stops
    HELP!
    Whirlpool Direct Drive (~20 years old)
    1. Agitates fine
    2. Fills/Drains fiine
    3. Spin cycle - increased noise with increase in speed, ultimately very noisy and sounds like there some sort of popping that momentarily reduces the speed of the spin
    4. If I hold the agitator from spinning with the tub, then no noise the spin is fine
    5. If I release the agitator, the noise returns with the popping.
    6. The popping should like if I let it go on long enough something surely will break...

    I was told it most likely might be my gearbox (transmission) is going out..

    Thanks in Avance
    Mr. Jim
