During the spin cycle, the tub won't start spinning on it's own. It makes a loud "Click" when it's supposed to start spinning but doesn't move. I have to give the tub a spin manually then it will continue spinning. After I help it spin, it makes 5 to 7 loud "clunking" noises and then spins normally. I'm thinking it's a bearing, the transmission, or motor. Which one is it? Could it be something else?

Probably the clutch in the motor pulley or the belt is slipping/grabbing. Open the front panel to observe whats going on. Watch the motor pulley and shaft. If the motor shaft is spinning but the pulley is not, then the clutch is slipping. With the washer empty and unplugged, you should be able to rotate the motor pulley by hand clockwise (looking from bottom) which should turn the transmission pulley, releasing the brake and turning the whole transmission and basket. See this thread.
