my new Speed Queen washer sounds

My new Speed Queen washer sounds like an older helical-drive, long stroke Maytag washer with that classic Maytag-like groan in the transmission.
 
old skool..

the new speed queens might be the last "old skool"T/L washers
left after the DDS go out of production.
I have two 1984 speed queens and other than the motor and pump
mounting,the new ones appear to retain much of the 1981 design
including the transmission and outer tub-nearly 30yrs old!
 
it wasn't transmission grease

We found out it wasn't transmission grease or detergent stain, it was either WD-40 or food grease stain on an article of clothing-and I've run it since, not a trace of transmission grease ANYWHERE in the washer or clothes!
 
almost got off-balance a few days ago

I was washing a load of towels in it a few days ago, medium water level, and on the final spin-drain, the tub shook bigger and bigger-almost to the point of banging against the sides of the cabinet, I shut it off, and sure enough, the load wasn't truely on both sides of the tub-I redistributed the load, and re-started the washer, and it spun as usual.
