Automatic Washer - The world's coolest Washing Machines, Dryers and Dishwashers

So a very little amount of grease was applied to the brake shoes directly. This has since resolved the issue. Only downside is the tub doesn't instantly stop like it use to. My tech said it will pick up again once it wears in.
 
 
That's a photo of spin, so no way to determine how much of the skew is related to the spin oscillations that normally occur.  How does it sit during agitation? Or after braking when spin is stopped? (a bit of skew may occur then depending on aggressiveness of the braking)

A factor that could come into play on tub lean is if the wrong motor counterbalance spring is installed.  There are three choices identified by a swipe of color (blue, green, or none) to match the stripe colors on the motor's label.  Your service guy surely is aware of that.
 
 
The video playback quality is very poor for some reason and the aspect ratio is horizontally stretched, I can't see anything splashing out of the dispenser.  Perhaps you're filling it too full?  The softener, of course, shouldn't splash over the top and out during agitation.
 
 
It's not unusual for an auger to wobble a bit, I've seen them looser than that.  I've not had hands-on use of that style dispenser so the splashing, which isn't to the extent that a lot of softener is wasted, may be a characteristic of it.

Just to say, fast agitation is unnecessarily aggressive for that load.  :-)

The degree (LOL) of cooling depends to a degree (LOL again) on the temperature of the tap-cold water supply.  The pause isn't a functional part of the cool down process.  It's to run out the remainder of the two-minute timer drain increment after the water level pressure switch resets (which is what turns off the motor for the partial drain).
 
I agree, that was way too much and agrressive agitation for that load.

My routine for putting dirty clothes in a hamper or basket for future laundering is--pants/jeans/shorts clasp/button trousers, close/zip up zipper, check pockets. And check pockets in shirts that have poket(s) at the same time.
 
I noticed at the end of the partial drain it appears as if one or both sides of the mixing valve are opened for a split second, as there is a small amount of water entering the tub. What causes that?

Also, why are the transmissions so noisy in these machines?
