Thanks, I'll take a look tonight and see if I can visually see the
problem with the gearcase, hopefully it will be an easy fix.

There's really nothing you can see/tell by looking at the gearcase --
it's like looking at the outside of you car transmission -- there's an
input and an output shaft all in a nice shiny housing.

What you can do is verify the motor is driving the input and nothing
is coming out the other end. Be darn careful not to get anything
precious caught in belt or the agitator while exploring, of course. W/
O the belt or in neutral, you should be able to rotate the drive and
tell if engages. To really get hold of the output shaft of course
requires pulling the agitator which gives access to only the very
short splined section at the top. The spin cycle drive is on the
lower end of the shaft where the drum bolts onto the flange (w/ three
cap screws). If you've not taken one of these apart, there are two
clips on the front about 8" or so from each corner that release the
top. Takes a screwdriver or other thin wedge to release them. From
then on, it's pretty obvious what follows what...
