If it did and the washer was agitating at the same time, the tranny is bad too. It is very important for proper diagnosis to confirm the direction.
The transmission is very expensive (over $240) and it's not easy to replace it, so if it's bad too then it's not worth to fix it.

Gene,
Thank you for your time. However, when I spin the pully counter clockwise (looking up from bottom) with the belt off, it just spins loosely, (because the clutch isn't engaging?). But when I spin it the opposite way, clockwise (bottom up), the clutch catches and the drum starts to turn. So clockwise, looking up, seems to be the way the drum
should spin? However, when I put the pully on and put the timer on "spin" the motor hums and doesn't turn (bad motor for sure), but if I give the pull a spin
counter clockwise it takes off and the motor run, but the tub doesn't spin the agitator starts moving. Could you be incorrect on the direction? Or is the motor (timer??) running the spin cycle the wrong way? Or is it the transmission that's going the wrong way?
On spin, with a nudge, the pully runs
clockwise - looking
down into the tub - but just the oscillator moves - not the tub. The wash won't run because I have no water in the tub. Should I fill and try it again? You said to watch for the pump to drain - but if it's not spinning the tub, the water won't drain - correct? If it's running on wash cycle - agitator only moving - on the "spin" cycle - the water
shouldn't drain then - correct? If only the agitator is working on "spin" doesn't that sound like transmission is messed up or something reversed?
I would fix it for just the motor, but I agree, the transmission is too expensive. I
want to believe the transmission is OK, and it's just the motor. Does this information give you enough to determine if the transimission is
possibly good? I'll await your response if you feel it "could" be the transmission, I'll cut my losses and buy a new washer. I really like to fix it, but would like to keep it under $200.
Thank you for your patience.
