When my wench is giving me trouble I take her out back and smack her up...

Rambler, The same thing happened to me (twice, two bikes)and warn covered it under warranty. I had to take it to a local warn service outlet and they replaced the plastic cover and some gears. The guys who fixed it said it seems to happen a lot if you disengage (free)the spool and don't re-engage it correctly. I did not send in my warranty card but as long as I had the bill it was covered. I've stopped using free-spool and have not had any more problems. ------------------

I need some help with my Warn Winch. I was pulling up stumps Saturday out of my yard. One particular stump was being stubborn. So like an idiot I gave a little slack in the winch cable & gave her a yank, now it's broke. I guess I stripped something. It has enough power to wind the cable back up under no load but that's it. If I hook to a tree or something it'll try to pull then stops. It sounds like it's still pulling but it's not. I took one end off of it today and saw no stripped teeth or anything. Only thing that caught my eye was the plastic teeth on the housing. Are there supposed to be 2 rows of them or one wide row? It looks like this: ^^^^^^^^^^^^ ------------ ^^^^^^^^^^^^ Did I void my warranty because I didn't fill out that registration card within 90 days? Someone please help...I NEED MY WINCH!!!
