In the SPIN cycle, I could not tell if the motor reversed but I could see the TUB rotate clockwise but spins like something is holding it back to do a fast spin. I've repeated this several times and couple of times the TUB didn't even spin at all, although the agitator spun.

The bearing job is much less $$ and easier too. Here are the breakdown diagrams and Replacement parts for Maytag MAV5000AWW WASHER, ATLANTIS | AppliancePartsPros.com Thank you. Simon.
