Unit drains, agitates but the spin is super slow.

I have replaced the following:

AE-Select 285785 Washer Clutch Kit

Whirlpool Motor / Pump Drive Coupler 285753 (it was broke)

Spin is still terribly slow.

Could it be the transmission?

Run the washer in spin with the cabinet removed. You must bypass the lid switch to do this. Observe the clutch hub. Is it spinning fast or very slow? If very slow, then it's a transmission problem. If it's fast, look up above the clutch hub into the brake hub to see what the basket drive is doing. If it is spinning fast as well then you probably have a worn drive block. The drive block locks the basket to the basket drive.

Take off the cabinet and by pass the lid switch and put it in spin cycle. If the clutch housing is turning slowly it may be the transmission or it may be the brakes are dragging. If the clutch housing is turning fast then re check the installation of the new clutch lining.
