Default Gorilla xtr 3000lb flaw

Just got a brand new gorilla xtr 3000 and installed it on my grizz. First time to use it in the yard and the synthetic rope got caught between the spool and the winch. I heard of this before but thought that problem with gorilla was fixed. Just wanted to spread the word.

Moto Alliance makes bushings to put between the spool and winch body to get rid of that problem. They say they have them for all types of winches not just their own..

Notice the gap on the left side of the spool in the pic.
