Washer Repair

Washer would not spin the clothes dry. Took wet clothes out and disassembled to check it out. Thought it might be the coupler. It looked brand new. I had changed it about two years ago. Put all back together and tried with no load and it started spinning. Put all back together and tried a load of clothes. No spin. Jumpered out door switch and noticed if I give the drum a little help it will begin to spin. I assume this means the clutch is shot. Is this worth while or should I just get another washer. Otherwise all functions work and still looks good.Thanks for any advice on what else it may be.

Well, about $30 for a new clutch, $400 for a new washer. I'd say go with replacing the clutch.
