Also, agitator works good but clothes do not get mixed well because drum will get spinning to fast on agitate. I've never heard of a washer doing this! Please Help.

This means the brake assembly is not working, and you need to replace the transmission assembly, this part here. Part number: AP2046402 However, given the cost of the part and the very low prices they are getting for new machines, I strongly suggest you replace it with a basic top loader.
