There is a nut on the top spindle of the agitator. There is a cap on the top of it. Remove the cap and check the nut, it may be loose. IF that is not the issue, the splines on the shaft may be going bad or the transmission is failing,

I have the same problem, loud plastic squeak/grind when agitating only. I'd like to fix it, but have never taken apart a washing machine.
The advice below sounds good but where do you start with "begin dissassembly from the tub down"....etc. Anyone have a good internet resource with images for disassembling this machine?
Thanks.

SOURCE: Clothes mover of whirlpool top-loading washer is loose. Agitates.
You need to replace the agitator dogs inside the clothes mover (agitator). take of the top then the cover, remove th bolt and take the top half off. you should see four "dogs" that need to be replaced.

you will have to access the bottom of the agitator from the back of the machine. Either you have loose bolts or else you agitator bearings are shot
