Winch shifter shaft, twisted ?

[Straybullet1946]

I have a 10k winch that works if one mounting bolt is removed so lever can be moved far enough. I think the shifter shaft is twisted. Does anyone recall if the two keyways on shaft are 180* apart? Mine are about 165* apart and I think they should be opposite each other(180*). While I am at it, any thoughts on source for winch parts and gasket/seal kits?

Thanks so much!!

Not many people are going to read, let alone help you, because the title of your thread gives no clue as to what you really want. I think if it were my thread, I would change that.

A more direct title would also help others that might have a similar problem in the future. As far as being able to answer your question, I regret I am unable to but, there should be a lot of information contained within the TMS. I can't point you to which one specifically deals with the winch. Sorry I'm not much help. Good luck with the problem.....

1) Edited title.

2) Keyways on a new shaft are "almost" opposite. (see my drawing in this thread, post #10).

3) Possible source for seals: here
