Worked perfectly. Very little filing and then applied water resistant siiicone lubricant to keep it moving smoothly. Thanks Again.

I got my Argo stuck in the Delta Marsh on Sunday and found my Warn to be stuck in freespool. I spent 2 3/4 walking out. I was a skeptical about your fix but after a ride back in on Monday I had it fixed in 5 minutes and was out in 1. Thanks

Thank you so much. I believe my warn winch is having this same issue. It is only two years old, I think I’ve used it three or four times. While I was in Colorado I flipped the dial to freespooling so I could pull the cable out, couldn’t get it to lock back up and wind the cable in. I Thought maybe I had dirt or rocks stuck in there. I took it to the car wash and sprayed it down, still wouldn’t work. I can hear the winch motor spinning, but won’t lock up to wind the cable back in. Great video, simple easy fix.

Line up the metal bracket bumps and the black cap bumps to bumps on housing. Good to go.

Good video. My Warn 2500 on my Kodiak 700 has the cable stuck I think. It only goes one inch either way but does have power. It also won't turn to unlock into free spool. Do you think this is the same issue? Damn, my unit is brand new. Any help would be great. Thanks.

[bobslater]

How much do you need to file down? Do you have any pictures?
