kenmore 90 series won't spin

My Kenmore 90 series washing machine won't spin. If I give it a helpng hand,rotating the drum by hand ,it will begin to spin.This happens during heavy loads of clothing(jeans,towels).Thank you for any response. Lean machine back against wall and look under it. look at sides of cabinet, If there is a streak of oil about 6 inches from bottom you need a gearcase, clutch and coupler. Oil leak out of gearcase and gets on clutch and causes your problem. if you dont see any oil remove the agitator and check to make sure the drive block is not stripped out. Kenmore washer 110.15842400 I suspect I have the same problem. I do see what looks like oil slung around the cabinet, also on framework, and a small amount directly under gearcase. Clutch is oily. Can the gearcase be resealed by removing top cover and using something like rtv sealant...or is it done and time for a new washer? Is rust inside the tub normal? Seal can be replaced. here is a break down of gearcase http://www.searspartsdirect.com/part...0405001blt=06 Replace clutch and drive coupler while it is apart.
