The mixer sounded like the gearbox was full of gravel.
The transmission housing was cracked and one of the bearings was broken. I replaced both of them, but the mixer really didn't sound any better. So I replaced the gears in the transmission, and while that was better it still wasn't correct. I am going to replace the other bearing and the planetary shaft and see it that aligns everything a bit better. I believe the problem is the way the gear on the end of the motor shaft is working with the worm gear, the bearings are not keeping the correct spacing. Hopefully, the new one in the rear will fix the problem.

The thumb screw plastic came off
Open the package with the new screw and it looked like the screw was wider. I tried it to see if it goes in and as long as you screw it straight in, there was no problem.

Removed top cover, remove snap-ring on shaft, slide top gear and worm gear off. Clean all the grease out and clean parts. Installed new worm gear and parts. Repacked with new grease, careful not to much, leaving room for expansion.

Worn worm gear
The KitchenAid is "old school" in that it is held together with simple (but very stout) bolts and screws. I removed about 10 such fasteners, slipped off the gear retainer, and pulled it out. On Sunday, a very nice customer service rep helped me order the right part, but I did the rest on line in a matter of seconds. It shipped on Monday and arrived on Wednesday. Took about 10 minutes to put everything back. I REALLY WISH everything was this easy in 2012!!!

Variable speed switch replacement
Easy repair that replaced the variable speed switch. The broken switch only ran at high speed. To replace the mixer would cost at least $500. The new switch was $45 and was an easy install. I marked the four electrical leads with a Sharpie and loosened the two screws holding the switch. The repair was super easy. It was like heling an old friend recover from an illness.

Mixer goes full speed even when on low setting.
Removed one screw to remove deco band around mixer body. Removed four screws under band to remove mixer top. Removed two screws holding switch. Removed wires one at a time putting them in the same position on the new switch. Re-attached switch, mixer top, and deco band. Works perfectly.

Mixer would not fully rotate under any load
Removing the cover of the mixers "guts", it was immediate evident the a major gear had lost a few of its "teeth". Parts Select clearly offered the required part of this $300 mixer for a favorable price. I was fully impressed that it arrived within 4 days or my ordering the part. I simply exchanged the damaged gear and restored the mixer to service and I'm fully impressed with the Parts Select Company for their swift response to my needs.

Mixer wouldn't slow down
I unplugged the mixer, then I removed the Phillips screw holding the beauty ring, then removed the 4 screws that hold the motor housing together. I removed the housing top, and unscrewed the speed control switch. I marked each one of the connectors of the switch (there are 4) 1-4 then disconnected the speed sensor from the switch and the motor. Replaced the new sensor and connected that to the new speed control switch. reconnected the connectors to the terminals I took them from ( 1 - 4 ) screwed it into place. replaced the top motor housing, I screwed that back with the four screws. replaced the beauty ring and screw. plugged it in and tested it and it was like new
