Einleitung
Here is a Kenmore 400 model 11029422801 with a clutch that was slipping. The washer went through all the programs but left the laundry soaking wet after the spin cycle. It sounded like it was spinning, but when we checked the drum while spinning, we noticed that it was not achieving full spinning speed. This was most evident on heavy loads.

Would this repair fix a 80 series Kenmore washer with same problem of no high-speed spinning
Possibly but it depends on what is going on with it. This one spun just sluggish and not „forcefull“ enough. It pretty much stopped spinning with a full load because of the weak clutch
How much do it cost to repair it
The complete repair kit was somewhere between USD $30-$40
I'm a jack of all if I can get it out I can rebuild it im a maintenance man at chicken proscenium plant we got to fixs all of it
I have had the parts to complete this repair for about a week now. Problem is, I cannot seem to get the transmission and shaft assembly to pull out and give me access to the clutch assembly for replacement. Any advice? Everything else is removed including the blots, wiring, motor, pump, everything… just can't get the transmission removed.
You removed the bolts holding the transmission to the chassis? Check to make sure you got all of them. If everything on the bottom is removed, make sure that there is no issues on the top with the agitator etc.
Wow after hours of searching and already completely disassembled so I could relate to each step this video showed me the problem was the cluch band. This allowes me to repair TWO washer demonstrating the same problems, both my sacrificial unit and my " good" washer. VERY, VERY HELPFULL!!
