It is most likely the coupler.

The coupling is located between the motor and transmission.

You will need to remove the cabinet of the washer to access the pump and motor to remove them.

To remove the cabinet take the two screws in the console out and flip the console up on it hinges.

Remove the two brassy looking clips in each corner.

Disconnect the lid switch wiring harness.

Open the washer lid and tilt the cabinet toward you and lift at the same time.

Place the cabinet out of your way.

Release the two clamps holding the pump on. You do not have to take the hoses off of the pump just swing it the side.

Remove the wiring harness on the motor.

Remove the two motor mounts.

Lower the motor and check the coupler.

Here is a link to your washer model RAB4232DW0.

Thanks for your help. I had the washer up and running in about 40 minutes.
