how can I fix my washing machine maytag mav6200?

I need to replace the transmission, but I can't get the inner tub out after removing the seal nut.

I'm trying to fix a MAV6000 Atlantis- I am to the transmission now. I did this:
Open top of washer - 2 screws removed at L/R top sides to remove front face - removed top cover off agitator (holds softner) - 1/2" bolt holding agiatator (below the gunk) - top cover over basin has tabs x 6, popped them loose (removes ring aound top - plastic star nut at base removed with channel locks - pipe and hammer tapped easily to remove metal basket hub - once loose the plastic inner basin removes - 6 bolts at outer base of outer basin attaches to transmission - remove them, 4 screws inside of basin removed and outer basin comes off. NOTE: bottom of transmission has 200# spring compression be careful removing the six 5/16" screws (under the pulley - this is the bottom of the transmission). I might have missed a few things but that is the most of it. Hope that helps somewhat.
