My top load whirlpool cabrio washer won’t start the was cycle. The lid locks, it’s in sensing mode, but not much past hat happens. I can hear a click or two, and the drum will spin around a quarter turn one way, but it never gets past that stage. Not sure if the capacitor isn’t giving enough juice to spin, if the transmission is bad, or the motor in general (which would be weird since it will partially spin at first)

From the symptoms you describe, it sounds like you may have a broken motor coupling. The coupler is located between the drive motor and gearcase (transmission). It takes the place of a drive belt. This configuration is known a "direct-drive". The following link explains how to replace one:

Replacement couplers are improved and more resilient to resist breakage. The part number is included in the link I provided. You can purchase one at appliancepartspros.com for about $11.

If you have any questions about this repair, please let me know. I hope this helps you.
