Washing Machine not Spinning clothes?

I've got a Kenmore Washer it will only spin on average every 3-4/10 times. You can hear it trying but the basket doesn't engage. When it does that if you push in the knob to shut it off it'll spin down a little then the basket will grab and if you turn it back on it will spin correctly. Googling the problem led me to other people with that problem and it was the general consensus that the clutch was the problem so I ordered and replaced it, problem is still there. Any suggestions?

Please only answer if your qualified to, thank you.

    I would suspect the transmission rather than the clutch. That means time to R&R the unit.

    Lid switch is bypassed (prior to me, got it with the house).

    Check your lid switch, it could be loose or broken.
