Mend Whirlpool SM8280869 Cycle Rinse Motor

My Whirlpool Washer (SM 8280869) Won't Do The Spin Cycle?

I have a Whirlpool Washer which will do every cycle except got the Spin Cycle. It will Rinse and once it clicks over to the Spin Cycle it makes noise like the motor is running but nothing is happening, then it will shut off. Anyone know how to fix this or how much it will cost to get it fixed?

it is either the drive coupling (plastic) or the transmission clutch (scrap it)...

I have a whirlpool sm 8280869 and I found metal clips in the bowl I took the machinge apart and they go between the top of the tub and a plastic ring. Now when I run the washer if I put any more than a small load in the washer struggles to turn. Are these clips the only reason im having a problem or is something else going on? Also where can I get replacement clips

mine did the same thing, push down on the center right side of the lid, it should start. It seems that the censers go out on them.
