Whirlpool washer won't spin

[svs]

Hello, good site hope someone can help.
I have a 18 year old Whirlpool washer. Great easy to work on unit.
It won't go into spin, either before rinse or at the end. Opening the lid when it should be spining lets the drum release and it then goes into spin.
Bringing the timer around to spin works as well.
So its not transitioning into spin.
Coupler is good, clutch is new. I put a new neutral pack assembly into the transmission, the old parts did look good when I opened the tranmission up. Changed them out anyway.
So I'm thinking motor, timer, or something else with the tranny.
Any ideas are appreciated.

I'm afraid that is not enough information to identify the appliance in question. What is needed is its exact model number. If you post it we can look it up to see what appliance design you're dealing with.

On Whirlpool's "direct drive" washer utilizing a 'neutral drain' transmission, that could be caused by a timer problem (see the following link).

At least your washer still uses one of the older, metal timers (see the following link) which can at least be serviced... somewhat.

The newer plastic body timers can't.
