For more accurate advise I need the complete model number of the washer. "20982" is not a valid model number. Gene.

Inspect the splines inside the bottom part of the agitator and the transmission shaft for worn grooves. Replace the part which has the grooves worn out. Also check if the transmission shaft is moving from side to side or up and down. If it does - the transmission has to be replaced. - The part number for the agitator kit is AP3094556 - The part number for the transmission (gear case) is AP3096209 Gene.
