Maytag Model A511 - Spins, but won't dry properly

I have a nice old Maytag A511 washer that has done me well that came with my first home purchase 3 years ago. This is the first issue I have had with the washer - It appears to be spinning at a high rate, however the clothes are soaking wet at the end of the wash. I put the washer back on "Spin" and open and close the top a few times and it spurts out some extra water and gets a little extra water out of the clothes before I put them in the dryer. The drain tube that goes into utility sink is clear. I have attached some pictures and am looking for any kind of feedback before I start taking apart more things... Does anyone know if there is a lint / hair trap designed in this model - or the best place to check for blockage? Any other maintenance tips are also welcome!

Thanks for reading, I will attach a couple extra pictures in an additional post.
