Maytag Bravos agitator works, but drum won't spin

My Maytag Bravos MVWX655DW1 will not spin much. The agitator works, but the drum won't spin much. The belt and pulleys are looking good and tight. The nuts are tight. Nothing is clogged. Nothing feels or looks out of place underneath.
The drum spins easily by hand with no sounds. There was a grinding noise yesterday when it was spinning, but nothing today.
Is there a gear or something that would allow the agitator to spin and not the drum?

I have the same issue; also, a week before this started, the washer would not balance when spinning no mater how I arranged the clothes. Are these two symptoms related? Thanks for any help.

No your issue is bad suspension rods. To verify they are bad perform the bounce test. See video for reference. https://youtu.be/8AvI9ma6rO4 Look up your model number on APP and find your rods.
