I looked up your washer. It can't be the pump. it is seperate from the washer drive. It has to be the belt. Remove the front panel. from there you will be able to acess the belt. remove the motor and pulley assembly and change the belt.

I looked at the belt and it looks good. No rough spots from burning in one place and tension is about 1/2 inch. Could it be transmission? or clutch?

well if it ain't the belt it has to be the motor.sometimes one of the 2 springs that hold the idler will come off. are both springs good? the short fat one and the long skinny one?
