Trying to diag direct drive whirlpool washer LSQ9510LQ0 (ready to head butt a stump)

Okay so I've got a whirlpool washer that agitates and it was spinning and draining now whenever it starts to spin in order to drain it seems as though it's not picking up enough speed because the centrifugal switch starts clicking in and out so I replaced the capacitor just cuz and I pulled the motor and tested the windings and they're getting continuity as well as tested the overload switch and it too is getting continuity I found two burnt pins/ points of contact inside the switch on the motor (3952056) clean them up and put everything back together but to no avail. I open the timer I found a burnt contact in there as well cleaned it up put it back together and Bob's your uncle lol. So I made a jumper to bypass the harness and test the motor directly and it will start to spin but at a certain point while building RPM it stops draining water so it should be proactive I took the pump apart as well as the hoses just to be safe and found zero obstruction. Last night I found a broke piece of the motor switch the corner to be exact was broke off where the pigtail plugs in and I reglued that and put everything back together and have yet to try it because this will be either my 4th or 5th time putting the motor back in to test it so I figured I would see if anyone has a better suggestion because I'm pretty sure I have exhausted all avenues as far as trying to diag the problem is concerned. I had a similar problem with the 80 series whirlpool washer before this one and was raised to try and actually solve the problem by fixing it instead of throwing money at it. Any help would be gratefully appreciated. As far as the color code for the harness at the motor is concerned it's as follows.. white, yellow, blue, white /-black, violet, black also before I forget I hooked a drill up to the motor with alligator clips on the pins then got the motor up to speed to see if the centrifugal switch was engaging/disengaging as it should and everything appeared to be in good working order both visually and audibly per the multimeter. The only thing I have not done due to uncertainty is test the value per winding with the multimeter because I do not know how much ohms they should be? I seen another post on here and a tech suggested to test certain wires and you should get between 4 and 7 ohms if I'm not misremembering? Look I appreciate anyone that can point me in a better Direction because I feel like it's right here in the motor and before I spend a small fortune I at least like to know what it is I've got to replace first LOL.. thank you in advance for your time and effort certainly for my labor but more importantly for my wife as well LOL.. thanks. Mike 🤘
