Rinse and spin not happening. Also, I found a spring underneath the washer. Saw other springs still connected near bottom. This one not as big. Thanx.

I suggest you operate it with the cabinet off by by-passing the lid switch and see if you can determine the cause of the problem by watching it. Also sounds like some of the support springs are off or broken.

Washer agitates and drains but no rinse or spinning at all. I have it in about 20 pieces right now. Coupler and clutch look good. backyardhockey attached the following image(s):

It does not belong to your washer and don't know how it got under the machine. We really need more information, and you need to operate it with the cabinet off to see if you can tell what is wrong. Beginning to sound like the transmission, which you can tell if you observe and notice the clutch is not turning when it is in spin cycle.

The clutch (what the red arrow is pointing to, correct?) was not moving during the rinse, agitate, or spin cycles.
