...it was the timer...replaced and everything is back to normal

It's not possible for it to drain AND agitate at the same time unless the transmission is faulty.

still up troubleshooting and reading posts....
after installing the transmission, I ran a complete cycle with NO load and on REGULAR speed...it completed the cycle...when I did a LOAD of laundry, I put the speed to HEAVY DUTY like I normally do...nothing was working correctly but water filling and the TIMER advancing to OFF....
I see now that instead it may not be the timer but a bad SPEED rotary switch....
more to come

ok I watched a cycle...
it was draining AND agitating at the same time when it was supposed to be spinning....it then stopped...turned back on again to probably spin but motor hummed then shut off....timer kept ticking...now its filling with water again....timer advancing passed RINSE and nothing is happening...just clicking...advancing towards SPIN....motor tries to kick in but hums and shuts off...timer advances to end of cycle..tub is full of water
help!!!!

update...
ran a load empty with Clorox to disinfect and washer appeared to have completed its cycle...
put a load in, water filled, agitated...later in cycle it was agitating really loud so I opened lid to see tub with no water in it...I don't believe that's normal...
put lid back down, motor humming then shuts off...
rotated timer to reset...tub just fills with water...timer ticking and intermittently turns on....
timer??

ok...
removed agitator and was able to twist-and-turn the agitator shaft but did not see the coupling move at the gear case...
still cannot move coupling at gearcase...
its the transmission....

Well, it's not the clutch or brake because they have no function during agitation other than the brakes keeping the tub from moving. You should be able to easily rotate the transmission input shaft by hand in the CCW direction. This should cause the agitator to move back and forth. If you can't rotate it, remove the agitator to make sure nothing is jammed under it. If clear, but transmission shaft won't rotate by hand, the transmission has failed.

thanks for responding...
this is what happened before it broke down....
I started a load...it was filling and I think when it went into agitation mode the big THUD sound happened and I shut it off immediately...
today, I disengaged the motor from the gear case and laid it on the ground but still electrically connected...shorted the lid, turned the timer to SPIN cycle and the motor kicked in...so this tells me the timer and motor must be (hopefully) still ok...
I have been manually draining the tub because im thinking I will eventually have to put the washer on its back and I don't want the water all over the place...
now, trying to figure out if its the gear case, brake, and/or clutch?? I don't think its the clutch though....

So, you removed the motor to check the coupler and rotation of motor and transmission shafts? If you can't rotate the transmission input shaft in either direction by hand, then the transmission is faulty but that would not affect the fill function.
