You need to scream over the sound of it. There are also random clicks and sqweeks during agitation. A couple days ago the tub seal began to leak. Transmission? Bearing? Also, I am attempting to take the unit apart to familiarize myself with it. I have the cabinet dismantled and the trunion bolts removed but can't seem to remove the inner tub. Any tricks to this? Final question. Is this type of unit even worth servicing? Thanks in advance for any help.

I am going to link you to the service manual, http://www.emaservicetips.com/pdfs/488_3.pdf see if that won't help you dismantle it. However if you do determine that it is a major component that is the problem then you may want to replace it.
