ABSTRACT:
An adjustable agitation system for an automatic washing machine includes a lost motion fluid drive connection between the input drive member and the agitator so that agitator oscillates through a lesser arc than the input drive member. The fluid drive is formed by pockets in the agitator skirt and corresponding paddles on the drive member skirt. The spacing of the drive member and agitator is varied to vary the differential between the drive member oscillation arc length and the agitator oscillation arc length. A connection member engages the input drive member and is selectively engageable with the agitator to connect the input drive member and agitator for conjoint oscillation.
