TR models don't have a transmission at all. That direct drive is what makes it so much quieter. The transmission is what usually bricks a washer. Though to that point, the SQ transmission is on another tier from other washers so it's unlikely to fail. That 15 year tranny warranty is parts only year 4-15. Not bad if your willing to work on it yourself. For some reason they dont list the lifetime tub warranty on the TC5 but its listed for every other topload model. I'm sure it includes that.

No Speed Queen is a direct drive, the motor still works though a belt whether though a transmission or a clutch assembly that is controlled by a control board. Direct drive is when the motor is coupled directly to the transmission with nothing in between except a drive hub.

Given what most techs will tell, the transmission is going to be less likely of a problem than an electronic control board. The TC5 can be serviced as easily as any old-school direct drive, if needed. The transmission is why the TC5 only needs a 1/2hp motor because there is torque and speed multiplication as needed vs relying solely on the power of the motor.
