well i got my winch today and i just had to play with it. i was seeing how good it would pull my quad up over the hill and i went to put it in freewheel mode and turned the **** the wrong way. now the **** just spins freely. is there any way i can fix it?

 

anyone??

 

what kind of winch? size?

I had a new warn 2500ci strip out on me the 5th time i used it... it was on the rear of my MV7 so it came with the mac hine.. warn blamed me and charged me $80 to fix it.. warn didn't cover it under their 1 year warranty.

I would think the switch or the sun gear is messed up on yours-- does it still pull in & out with the switch? or does it not "pull" at all?

 

I had the same problem with a gorilla winch the first day after I installed it. Gorilla is sending me a new unit and a return label.

My winch did disengage before I wired it up. The first time I tried to disengage it after winding it in and out a few times the **** for disengaging just spun very freely with no resistance or engagement. The winch will still power in and out.

What could someone do to cause that to be their fault?

 

its a gorilla winch 3500# it still goes in and out with the switch, it will not engage into freewheel mode

 

Can you remove the ****?

 

Haven't tried to remove it yet. I was just going to leave it the way it is and not worry about it.
