There was a spin problem, replaced the coupler and dogs did a test, agitate was good, went into spin cycle and loud hum from motor as overload, unplugged and checked work that was done, looked ok, removed agitator and basket, removed tranny, sprayed WD 40 0n brake shoes and reassembled. Did Test, agitate was good, spin was good until end of cycle, as the basket was slowing down there was a loud clanking noise. With the timer in the off position, I turned the basket by hand, and I head the same metal clank sound 2 x in a complete revolution. 
When I pull up on the basket there is about a fourth to a half inch play.
What could it be??

Beekins,
You’ll need to remove the agitator, tub cover and spin basket, to check the drive block,
[part]AP2905773[/part]
and spin tube,
[part]AP3094539[/part]
for excessive wear and tear or damge. The 2 slots on the inside of the drive block, align and slip down onto the 2 tabs on the top of the spin tube, the spin basket is driven by the 2 components, the 1/2 in. play and the 2 clunks, would indicate that the 2 parts are no longer secured and the tub won’t spin proper.
Good Luck,
