Maytag washer won't spin, LAT8426AAE?

maytag washer "Dependable Care" 14 yrs old. will not spin. I have read many, many articles on the net, "troubleshooting techniques". Agitation works. Inspected motor belt, good. Tension seems good. Motor in far back position on carrage, (springs pull motor back), & allow motor to move forward towards center tranny pully. Removed inner tub, inspected for mech. bind between inner & outer, good. With belts removed, tranny pully rotates by hand easily & spindle moves up/dwn. Other direction moves about 360degrees and then won't move further. Thinking sleeve bearings or tranny (spring brakes?). Removed outer tub. Seal assy, spindle sleeve. Both sleeve & upper seal w/outer sleeve don't act like bearing, tight. Needs replaced. However, the tranny only moves in one direction. I'm thinking spin is one direction & agitate the other. (?). Laid washer on side, rotated tranny w/cover up,removed 4 screws. It's filled w/oil,doesn't seem bound. Brake problem? Removed center pully, chked cogs alighned, & ball bearing spins nicely. HELP, oh experienced ones. BTW, you guys don't get paid enough. TY Jim
