Whirlpool WTW5000DW0 bearing repair?

[Appliance Repair 60]

I have a Whirlpool top load washer that has became rather loud on the spin cycle and I’m pretty sure it’s due to a bearing going out. Do they sell a bearing kit for this model?

This would require a gear box replacement. The gear box is self contained and is not designed to be rebuilt. It includes the tub seal. Is there any lateral play between the tub and the basket? If so, then this would require replacing the basket as well. These machines were designed for economy, not longevity.
