Is your Maytag in a cold basement or room that is typically cold in the winter? Often times the cooler temps can cause the now 40-50 year old gear case grease to take several minutes to reach an operating temp where agitation is normal. This isn’t going to really hurt anything now - long term fix would be a full trans clean and rebuild.

I wouldn’t say the basement is cold as the wood burner is in that room also but it is against a stone wall where a draft comes through the door. The room is usually between 60 and 80 degrees F. | ||

60 is cold enough to slow it down. My experience has been that it usually only takes about a minute of operation for it to get up to speed. You also need to take into account what is being washed. If it's a full load of towels, sometimes even on a warm day agitation speed can vary somewhat until the entire load has turned over. | ||

Ok thanks. I just wanted to know if it was something happening to it. It is my daily washer. | ||
