I bought a new coupler but before installing it I followed the advice of
manually turning the transmission post in both directions. In the counter
clockwise direction there is agitation but in the clockwise direction the
post locks after about 10 turns. Could this be because the brake is
preventing the tub from spinning or is it more likely a transmission
problem? BTW, the parts store suggested that these transmissions have a 5
year warranty and I think mine is just under 5 years old but I need to
search for my sales receipt.

Hi,

Comes to a stop?...or just gets stiff?...can you turn it any further?

Please see above.

That is true, should have a min of 5 year parts only warranty on the
tranny/gearbox
