The splined shaft drives only the agitator. It's not engaged during spin, rotates then only due to friction from contact with the shaft seals and other parts. The problem likely is that the basket drive block is worn and probably the ears on the basket drive tube are worn down. These parts are not visible in your picture, further disassembly is required. If you remove the metal clip and plastic piece from the agitator shaft, you can see the top of the basket drive block and the notches that mate to the ears on the drive tube. Access to remove the drive block requires unscrewing the spanner nut (has four notches, there's a special wrench to handle it properly, they're not expensive to buy). The spanner nut anchors to the drive block and secures the inner drum to it and the spin shaft. The inner drum has to come out, which of course also requires removing the machine's outer cabinet and tub cover. If the spin tube ears are worn down, then the basket drive assembly must be replaced ... which further requires removing the transmission from beneath. While it is a bit of a job, it's not really as bad as it sounds and is very much doable. |

I'm talking about the agitate cam inside the gearcase. That is the most likely problem. Shift actuator is also inside the gearcase. Sounds like it would be best for you to just replace the gearcase. |
