Seems to look like all pullys are spinning but will not move the drum belt to spin. I have to manually move the beltto start it spinning and even then the belt moves slower than the pully spinnin g causing it to wear down the belt

You either have a loose belt or a bad clutch. Read this manual to get a better understanding: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/8010163/Understanding%20automatic%20washer.pdf
This is a collection of manuals from Maytag who makes Amana: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/8010163/Maytag%20Washers.zip And one original manufacturer supplied:
