The washer will spin on it's own durning wash cycle

Normally the washer shouldn't spin during the wash, it should agitate back and forth.

when it gets to rinse it won't go unless I give it an assist

Assist how? Pushing the basket by hand?

I have replaced the pump and the motor coupler.

To correct this problem?

If I spin it up to speed it will take over and complete the rinse and spin cycle

Rince is to agitate without soap, you mean the final spin and drain will work? Will the drain still work without your assist?

Yes the assist is pushing the basket. It drains OK. The problem started with the clothes being wet after spinning

Normally clothes between the tanks, loose/worn drive block ( direct drive style only ) and weak clutch ( direct drive style only ) will give slow or poor spins.
Can peek through the basket holes with a flash light to check for clothing, often the drive block gives a strange noise as well ( not mentioned you hear any ) so the clutch may be the prime suspect...
