So it spins ok but in agitate mode, the motor runs but no agitation? Suggest you pull the agitator and observe top of agitate shaft to see if it goes back and forth while in agitate mode. If it does, the splines in the agitator are likely stripped out. If it doesn't and your sure the motor is running, pull the motor and inspect the drive coupling. Usually, if it's shot, it won't agitate or spin. If it looks good rotate the gearcase input shaft CCW by hand while someone observes the agitator shaft. If the input shaft rotates freely and the agitator shaft doesn't move, the gearcase is bad.

Then it sounds like a bad drive coupling. You need to pull the motor and check it and check that you can freely rotate the gearcase input shaft.
