Awful noise during spin cycle

Hello,

My washing machine started making an awful noise during the spin cycle. Here’s a short video with sound.

It’s not the clutch. I replaced that (had a spare I ordered years ago). The motor seems to be working correctly. Maybe the gearbox?

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Sincerely,
Pat

Found the problem. Search for "Whirlpool Top Loader Washer Rachet Noise" on YouTube. There’s a great video by Kntryhart that demonstrates the problem and gives two solutions.
