Thanks for all the replies. It turned out that the transmission clutch is
most likely suspect. Too expensive to worry about on this 23 year old
washer. My decision for a new washer came after I tore into it and found
that the basket is very rusty. I was told that GE made terrible washers
back them. I can't complain though, I only replaced a pump about 10 years
ago and it served me well over the years. I just hope the new washer I
recently bought(Roper)will give me such good service. They seem to be
built lighter and with more plastic parts.
