Check the current drawn by the motor when it goes on spin. If it's more than it's written on the motor label, replace the motor.

If it's not, then the problem most likely is a bad timer.

good news, no longer tripping breaker, agitating fine...just no spin at all now, not even with a little push, thinking i way have over tightened something , i did hit the the transmission and pieces that are supposed to move with some wd 40 to make sure they where not stuck ...i guess i am off to a hardware store to get a oem meter....

It's a good idea. You can check the motor and the timer, using the wiring diagram.
