I pushed on the plastic piece by hand to make it rotate and it did make the tub rotate along with it. Is this how it is supposed to work? That plastic piece looks awfully small and flimsy to be driving a tub full of clothes to spin. It looks so flimsy that I would guess it would break in not a lot of time if it is supposed to drive the tub to spin.
