Motor smell because the tub won't turn clockwise (when you look from under it), it's stuck. But it will turn counterclockwise (when you look from under it) by moving the plastic pulley manually. The belt is good. The water pump is good. I can rotate the transmission clockwise with no problem. It seem the problem is between the transmission and the pulley that touch the belt. We can find the parts diagram here. Thanks

If its not agitating, the transmission is probably bad. That should happen even if you turn it by hand.

Sometimes you have to weigh cost VS age and longevity.
