I can push entire piece back down and it will engage and work for a load or 2. Eventually it lifts up again, a couple of inches and will not agitate. When machine is empty, I can lift agitator completely out (very easily) and there is some type of transmission fluid or oil on center rod. Not sure where to start to fix, please help:(

You will need a 1/4" nut driver or a socket wrench to tight it. If it got lost, then you have to order one. - The locking screw Part number: AP4026393 Here are the breakdown diagrams and Replacement parts for Maytag LAT9356AAE WASHER-TOP LOADING \| AppliancePartsPros.com Gene.

If so there is a plastic clip on the shaft that is broken. If this is the case I will give you info on the repair. If only the agitator is lifting up (not the shaft) replace the setscrew that Gene posted. [/FONT]
