I bought this winch used with the free spool not functioning. It works great otherwise.
It turns about 1/4 ways before it won’t go any further.
Do any of you guys know how to fix this? Would warn warranty it?

Any help appreciated thanks

Lack of grease and likely some rust in that side. It isn't really broken most likely, it just isn't moving the clutch and don't force it or you can break the free spool lever.

Blaine is correct. A bit of corrosion is the first thing to check for. You will want a tube of grease and the two gaskets for the gear box before you take it apart.
