The basket in my GE washer has been wobbling and making a lot of noise
during spin cycles. My repairman tells me it needs a new transmission.
Probably I will do the repair according to the nice instructions at

http://www.affordableappliance.com/T...ntNewStyle.htm

Those instructions refer to suspension units that look sort of like
shock absorbers or some type of dampers, but maybe they are just
springs. Anyway I wonder whether those will need to be
replaced---whether they would be worn out due to the wobbling. They are
referred to as "ROD/SPRNG ASM" in

The instructions seem very good, but any other hints would be
appreciated. Especially I'd like comments about what I should/must
replace besides the transmission. Apparently the "split ring" (aka
C-ring) is likely to break upon removal. Anything else?

The washer's model number is WSSR3120W1WW.
