OK for those of you that avoided my winch like the plague problem partially solved. The lever for the free spool function had a detent ball under it that was gummed up. Removed side plate and with the help of some WD40 all is good now. Now the reason for the post.

I re-spooled my winch cable and found a section of the cable that has been smashed. No broken strands but is this reason to replace cable I don’t want to have a winch that is unsafe to use.

Mine has been kinked and crooked for years and haven't had any issues. Just makes it harder to spool back up.
