Identify this winch! Rebuildable?

This is my truck winch, its a Warn from probably 17yrs ago, been on truck forever. Works great, but the disengage lever only turns halfway, so it is pretty much stuck on "engaged" and I can't freespool. Have to turn the winch on to feed line out. Fixable? What model is this anyway? the model# tag on the left is scuffed from an accident

can I just pop the right endcap off and clean everything and re-assemble? anything else needed to free up the disengage lever?

You could at least pop the end cap off and see if there's something obviously wrong in there. Might help you know what you need when you contact Warn.

Pop that cap off and springs and bearings will go flying

Boing!

Just kidding

I don't know anything about winches but Personally I've never been shy about tearing into something that was not working properly.

I'll bet you can get it apart and clean and lube it and it'll be working just fine.

It's broke, so how can you hurt it?
