Harder than expected
The part arrived promptly and I expected a quick, easy repair. Getting the old coupler out was a difficult job. I had to resort to a chisel and hammer to knock the old coupler loose and up off the agitator drive shaft which comes up from the transmission. Eventually it let loose. I cleaned the shaft and lightly lubricated it. The new coupler went on it relatively easy. Placing the agitator on the coupler wasn't so easy. It would appear that the coupler was too large but that wasn't the case. Another purchaser went through the trouble of creating a threaded rod which slowly pulled the agitator onto the coupler. I didn't go that route. I turned the agitator upside down and place the top of it into a pot of hot water hoping the heat will cause the opening to expand with the heat and slide over the coupler. After soaking and heating for a while, I sprayed the inside of the agitator and the coupler with Teflon spray. It still gave lots of resistance in settling into place. I eventually covered the top of the agitator with a multi-folded towel and hammered it down using the side face of the hammer to avoid damaging anything. The agitator went down but only partially. I eventually gave up. My only problem being that the agitator is about 1 1/4 inches about the bottom of the washer tub. It works but my fear is some article of clothing will be drawn under the agitator while it's operating. Since the spin cycle throws clothing outward in the tub, I'm hoping that it won't happen. It saved a visit by the repairman or the cost of a new washer.

Agitator coupling rubber separated from metal part
In my case the rubber bonded to the agitator coupling had stuck inside the agitator cover (plastic part that comes in contact with clothes). The metal part with the splines could not be removed by gripping with pliers. A pulling tool needed to be used to remove the tool. I used a valve spring compressor tool for overhead cam engines, b
... Read moreut any pulling type tool with a center bolt and jaws that will fit between the rubber seal and the bottom of the agitator coupling would work. After removing metal part of coupling from agitator shaft and cleaning up the rusted teeth on the agitator shaft that caused the difficult removal, I pried out the rubber part of the agitator coupling from the plastic agitator cover by inserting a screw driver from the top hole in the agitator cover and getting it under the rubber to separate the toothed parts of the rubber from the matching grooves and then pushed it out the bottom of the agitator coupling. Then came the difficult part of the project - inserting the new coupling. I found the instructions that came with the new part very unrealistic and was not able to simply wet the rubber on the new coupling after installing it on top of agitator shaft and then push it into the plastic agitator cover - it simply would not go down more than 1/8" in the cover. If you attempt to do this job using the method described in the instructions you will likely end up with a damaged agitator, or cover as you will likely resort to hammering the cover on which is not recommended because of shock to agitator teeth. In my solution this is where a long bolt, 2 large diameter washers that the bolt fit through, several nuts larger than the bolt diameter and finally a nut that fit the long bolt came into play. Using these parts and a socket set with several long socket extensions I used the bolt, washers and nuts to draw the agitator coupling into position in the plastic coupling. This worked extremely easily once all the parts were in the right place and put no stress on any of the parts being assembled. To do this, first I installed the new agitator coupling on the agitator shaft - making sure it would remove fairly easily before continuing, then I pushed the agitator cover over the agitator coupling as far as I could to get it connected well enough to the agitator coupling so that when I pulled the agitator cover back off the agitator shaft the coupling would come with it (still in place with the rubber teeth from the coupling started in the corresponding grooves on the inside of the cover). With the agitator cover removed I placed a washer that was wider than the top of the agitator cover onto the long bolt (the bolt must be about 8 inches long) and then passed the bolt through the hole in the top of the agitator cover, through the splined hole in the agitator coupling (the bolt must be small enough in diameter to fit through the agitator couping hole). With the bolt and washer pushed all the way down on top of the agitator cover I turned the cover over and placed it upside down on the floor so that the cover pushed down on the washer and bolt and held them in place. I then used an extracting tool (something with little claws that protrude or retract) to lower first another washer large enough in diameter to cover the diameter of the agitator coupling bottom and then several nuts larger than the bolt diameter onto the exposed end of the bolt that comes out on the other side of the agitator coupling inside the long narrow tube of the agitator cover. Once I had enough nuts in place to leave only enough threads on the bolt for the washer and nut that fit that bolt, I set the nut on the end of the bolt and used the correct sized socket with several long socket extensions attached to it to hand tighten the nut onto the end of the bolt. Then securing the head of the bolt with a wrench to keep the bolt from turning, I placed a socket wrench on the extensions and socket that covered the nut and then tightened th

Replaced the Agitator coupling
First, you will need to remove the agitator, if it hasn't fallen off by itself. Than, you will need a pulley to remove the coupling from the spinning pole . I used one of those pulleys with three arms to remove it , Second, I lubricated the inside of the new coupling with a little oil, and sided it down on the spinning pole. It was
... Read more a little hard to installed but, I used a hammer and tapped it in. Third, I also put some lubricant on the new coupling to help the agitator slide down a little easier on the new coupling.
P.S. Check inside agitator for old rubber of the old coupling and remove it. (only if it has fallen off the old coupling.)

How is the agitator coupling (still available) replaced? Does the old one come out from the top of the agitator, or dropped out the bottom? Is it held in place by anything special, or is it just pressed into the agitator neck?
For model number WWA8360GAL
Hi Tim,
Thank you for the question. You will need to remove the agitator, than you will need to remove the coupling from the spinning .Next use lubricated inside of the new coupling with a little grease or oil, and sided it down on the spinning. You can used a hammer and tapped it in if need be.
A good hint from a previous customer - Check inside agitator for old rubber of the old coupling and remove it.
Good luck with the repair!

The agitator on my washer only works when there are light, small loads (no scrubbing action with larger loads). Will replacing this part correct that problem? If not, what part(s) do i need?Thanks!
lorenzo
For model number WWA8310GAL
Hello Lorenzo, thank you for your question. We would recommend checking that part before purchasing. It is possible that the agitator coupling has become worn and is not able to move the agitator smoothly with larger loads. If that isn't the issue, there could be an issue with the belt, pulley, motor, or clutch. I hope this helps!

Will this part fit my washer?
For model number GTW330ASK2WW
Hello Marcos, Thank you for the question. Checking the model number, it is not listing a Agitator Coupling. The Agitator fits onto the shaft of the Washer Gear Case, PartSelect Number PS12298171. Hope this helps!
