Whirlpool top loading washing machine clutch

[snig]

Never done one before but need to change a clutch on a 10 year old machine ( 3RLSQ8000JQ1 ).It looks like a lot of work, anyone know roughly how long it should take before i quote for the job? i assume the tub and gearbox need to come out ?

Very easy job
Undo nut from the top of the agitator then tip machine onto its back,remove 2 clips holding the pump onto the motor,unplug wiring on the motor then undo the 3 bolts holding the gearbox on and it will slide right out with the motor and clutch.
Clutch then comes off very easily. I have done quite a few and it only takes half an hr start to finish
