Unfortunately your washer most likley has worn out main spin tube and agitator seals ans as a result has gotten water in the transmission which has caused the agitator gear spring to rust and break. To fix you would need another transmission and new center-post clutch & brake package plus new main bearings and seals. [ yes this washer can still spin just fine with a transmission that is broken in this manor ]
This is normally the practical end of this washer unless you want to start doing major repairs, outer tub rust is the other item that normally sends these great washers to the recycler.
