If you hold the spin basket during spin and it still makes bearing noises, you have a bad tranny.
The tub has a ball bearing supporting the tub. Lots of times the seal for this will leak and you can see dirty water marks on the seal area where the tranny goes into the tub.
I would soak the spin basket hub with penetrating oil. The hub tends to rust to the spin basket on these washers.
