Washer fills, drains & spins But won't agitate

I have a 1980’s Maytag LA482 Washer with a Helical Transmission. It fills then tries to agitate, But the transmission doesn’t lock so it moves like trying to slow spin. When I move to spin, It drains fine & starts to spin out. When it clicks to stop, The drum keeps spinning. I think the brake ass’y is broken, But don’t know for sure. How can I determine if the brake is out OR the transmission is out ? What parts are usual replacements if it is the brake ? Trans. is NLA. Unit worked fine until this & is a match to dryer, So I don’t want to replace if possible. I can do my own repairs. Thanks for the help !

Cause 1

Drive Motor

The drive motor might be defective. However, the drive motor is rarely at fault for this symptom. Before replacing the drive motor, first check all of the more commonly defective washer components. If none of those components are defective, consider replacing the drive motor. To determine if the drive motor is defective, first ensure that the motor is getting power. If the drive motor hums but doesn’t run, is noisy, or does not turn freely, replace it.

Cause 2

Agitator Assembly

The agitator might be damaged or stripped away where it connects to the drive system inside. To determine if the agitator is stripped inside remove it from the washer and inspect for damage or wear.
