My 1980s GE washing machine agitator spline. This is the 4th in about 10 years.

Getting the old spline out required boiling the agitator top to loosen the rubber.

Most of the aluminum was eroded but it is designed to sacrifice the aluminum spline to save the steel on the transmission shaft.

This machine keeps going forever. It may has done thousands of loads. Usually one every day using its small basket.

It has had some parts replaced along the way like motor and clutch, tub seals, pumps, dampers, belt, drain hose. But the transmission keeps on going.

There are few machines made like this for home use today.
