What you need to do is replace the coupler. It is in between the motor, and the transmission. The part is no more then $15.00 If you need me to walk you through the repair. I can be reached at my web site at ApplianceEducator.com
thank you so much. That was exactly what it was and very easy to fix. These forums have helped me repair a washing machine, dishwasher, and refrigerator....probably saving me several hundred dollars. God Bless America!
