Warn 9.5cti broken free spool

[SilverLJR]

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

@Blackjack can pull you in the right direction.

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.

Only need to take the gear side of the winch off and if careful may not need new gaskets. They are not cheap.
Clean gear sets well and then regrease, not too much. Can then see how the lever works the shift collar. (be sure and put it back in the right way)

I had good luck with this guy when I restored my Warn 9.5cti.

Bought parts and grease from him.
My warn 9.5 and 9.5CTI on my TJ and LJ both had internal corrosion. So much for waterproofing…
