Washer doesn't spin completely

I recently purchased a new home and the washing machine wasn't spinning clothes well.
I bought a new washing machine and am having similar problems.
The washing machine is on the cellar floor and the drain pipe is 84" off of the floor (the Whirlpool booklet said that it could be up to 96").
Is the pump having to work too hard, and can I lower the drain pipe?
This pipe dumps into the main outlet pipe (sewer), which is 72" off of the floor.

You can try lowering the drain stand pipe.
Putting it about the height of the washer
is usually plenty high enough.
