I have a Maytag Ensignia that when in the washing mode, there is a clunking sound. When it gets to the spin cycle the agitator is working like it was in the wash mode, and the tub does not spin. I don't want to spend a whole lot of money on this. So my next question is it worth repairing or replace it? I myself am a mechanic, so I'm capable of repairing it, if it's not a costly thing. Thanks for any help that can be offered..

Maxim, You most likely have a worn out thrust bearing assembly, Part number: AP4009132
You'll be able to check the assembly when you remove it to test the transmission input shaft. Lay the washer on it's back or raise and block the front up, enough to access and remove the belt and drive pulley, thrust bearing. Reinstall the lower cam onto the shaft, and turn it clockwise, the transmission will be in the agitate mode, if it makes the clunking noise, you'll need a transmission, if not you'll need the thrust bearing kit assembly. Thanks and Good Luck, :) :) :)
