Title: Tmax 6500 Winch
Post by: pkapral on May 18, 2007, 01:26:57 PM

My Tmax 6500 clutch lever broke, but when i look at the lever it looks like a pin was holiding it to the piece inside, so it looks like when to much pressure is applied this pin is supose to break, any ways does anyone know how to fix or, it willing to give me a hand, I contacted, national 4wd and they could no help me.

sorry hear that. i think the downside to those t-max winches is they use plastic instead of metal innards. the handle may be metal, but what it attaches to is plastic. ive heard of a few breaking like this. no offence but these winches are cheeper for a reason. when they work they work well, but like anything it sucks when they break. you may need to contact T-max and see if ou can get parts.

Sell your current winch and a higher load rated winch, min 8,000 lbs, if this is on any kind of Jeep  :D
