Kitchen aid washer

Hi,
my washer, God bless it has been running for quite some time, and all of a sudden it won’t spin, however I do hear the motor whirling around and I took the front cabinet off to find that the washer doesn’t have a belt, i’m wondering if a gear sheared or maybe the clutch went bad, however I’m not sure how to get inside it to take a peak. any ideas
