Hi, just a mom here trying to save money and do this myself. Here's how far I got - got motor and gearcase out in one piece and ran on spin cycle outside machine. Motor coupler turning and clutch is turning, but clutch not as fast as I would expect for spin cycle. When coupler was in machine, I could look under and see that motor coupler spinning super fast, but clutch not turning. It turned when I took it off machine. Problem is washer makes terrible grinding noise and wont spin. Thought it was motor coupler, replaced that. Thought it was transmission, but if clutch is turning at all, transmission is good? Also replaced agitator dawgs. I can't afford a repair man. Please help me!!

Sure that model is not an LW1 or PW1? No SW1 as far as I know. Sounds like bad gearcase, possible stripped spin gear or broken/worn spin pawl. With gearcase out of machine, there is no load on the clutch so it could rotate even with failing internal gearcase parts. Can you easily stop the clutch from rotating in spin mode with gearcase out of machine? Does the machine agitate ok?
