You might take a little heart in knowing:Pulled all the kinked cable off the winch. Also filled the winch with trans fluid. Because there was no fluid in it. I found a leak behind he drum. I know trans fluid isn't supposed to be In it. I put trans fluid in basically so there is fluid in it and to flush it out. I still can't get the winch to free spool and it won't move into in position. So may need to pull it apart and rebuild it or inspect it
- The winch is likely LONG overdue for a bit of PM service.
- I don't think there are THAT many parts to a winch (relatively speaking).
- And after you're done with the overhaul, you're going to be a whole lot more familiar with your truck then you were before you tackled this.
Good Luck, Brother!
