Gibson Washer clothes still wet at the end of cycle
When your Gibson washer clothes are still wet at the end of the cycle, the inner tub may not be spinning fast enough to remove water. On top-load models, a worn clutch is the most likely cause, followed by a broken or loose drive belt. A worn clutch band kit can produce the same symptom when applicable to your model. If the transmission engages but the basket spins slowly or not at all, inspect the basket drive for worn clutch pads, stripped spin tube tabs, or a damaged drive block. The hub can also have stripped teeth and fail to engage the inner tub properly. Finally, a defective motor control board may prevent the motor from receiving power, leaving washer clothes soaking wet or causing a washer not spinning out water problem. Unplug the washer before inspecting parts, and use a multimeter or service information when testing the motor control board. Enter your model number to find the exact replacement clutch, drive belt, clutch band kit, basket drive, hub, or motor control board for your specific Gibson washing machine.

Some top load washers use a clutch to spin the inner tub. If the clutch gets worn the clothes may come out wet. You can fix the problem you can install a new clutch band kit, if applicable to the model.
The basket drive sits on top of the transmission and engages with the inner tub. If the transmission is engaging to spin, and the outer tub spins slowly or does not spin at all, the spin tube tabs may be stripped. Alternatively, the drive block on the spin tube may be stripped. Inspect both the spin tube tabs and the drive block. If the spin tube tabs and drive block are not worn out, the clutch pads on the basket drive are likely worn out. If the clutch pads are worn out, you must replace the basket drive.
The hub is seated on top of the transmission and engages with the inner tub. If the transmission is engaged to spin, and the outer tub spins slowly or does not spin at all, the hub teeth may be stripped. Inspect the hub for damage or wear and replace if necessary.
The motor control board provides power to the motor. If the motor control board is defective, the washer may not function properly or may not work at all. First, check the control board for burned out components. To determine if the motor control board is defective, ensure that the control board is providing power to the motor. If the control board has power, but is not providing power to the motor, replace it.
