I can stop the basket easily. The washer drains fine and I can hear the motor running. I am thinking the clutch but I am not sure.

Remove the agitator to inspect the top of the drive block. Check that the slots in the block are intact as well as the tabs on the drive tube and that they are fully engaged. Remove the clip and plastic washer from the agitator shaft if your washer has them to be able to see the drive block. Whirlpool 285785 Clutch Assembly - AppliancePartsPros.com Eric
