Kitchen Large Electric Appliances - Kenmore 90 washer timer acting funny

I have a Kenmore washer 110.20922990 that stopped spinning about a week ago and just started a loud, fast clicking noise. I did some internet research and discovered it to be a cracked drive coupler which my husband (and I) replaced without too much trouble. Now, however, while the wash cycle runs fine, it fills up, and agitates, but when it gets to the spin cycle, it pauses like it's supposed to, then it sounds like it's starting to spin, but the sound never speeds up. The first time I checked on it because it didn't sound right, I found that it wasn't spinning at all and I've since guessed that the sound I'm hearing is probably the pump pumping out the water. As soon as I lift the lid, the pump stops, I hear a click, then if I put the lid down again, the basket starts spinning. Then about a minute or two later, it stops again, waits a few seconds, then starts spinning again. The end product is that it does what it's supposed to, but I think that the timer might be out of whack. Is there anything that we might have done when replacing the drive coupler that might have caused this behavior? I'm hoping it's a simple adjustment, but I keep hearing things like having to replace timers or bad transmissions or even bad motors so hopefully the news won't be that bleak. Thanks for your help in advance.

Sounds like your washer is doing what it is supposed to do... after rinsing it stops an cools down.. starts back up and drains 1st then after sme time it will stop again and start spinning and draining.. This is called neutral drain..
When you lift the lid you interupted the drain cycle and in a way forced it into a spin before ready... When load is done have they spun out ok....??

"When load is done have they spun out ok....??"

Yes, but it never used to behave like this before. When it was done washing, it would pause a few seconds, then go straight into a spin while draining (same after each rinse cycle too). Now it pauses like before, but then goes straight into draining with no spin, then a few minutes later, it stops again, pauses a couple of second then starts spinning. I guess if it ain't broke, I shouldn't worry about fixing it? The clothes are spun out by the end of the full wash/rinse cycle. I just wasn't sure if it was something I should be concerned with or whether it might be causing any harm by leaving it that way.

It is doing what it is supposed to. The transmission has to "warm up" by running a full wash cycle before it will go into neutral drain. If you try to go into a drain cycle to early (cold transmission), the transmission will engage a spin while it is draining.

It is supposed to drain in neutral "no spin" then the machine stops and restarts for the the spin cycle.
