Hi,
    I recently got my mitchell 624 reel serviced and it needed a replacement 
shaft, which was done.

I have been using it since but the spool seems to slip like mad...It's like 
the reel is just giving up. The clutch seems to have no play in it.

Any ideas, and its defo not the line slipping.

TIA

 If it wasn't broke before you had it fixed I would suspect that who
ever fixed it broke it. I'd take it back to the "fixer.".

Hi, the old shaft was sent to me so i believe it was replaced, and in all 
honesty i pulled in a very nice smoothound shortly afterwards with no probs, 
so im unsure,

I do wd40 reels after use, could this have gone through to the internal 
plates?

Whoops, theres your answer. Why WD, they only need a run under a gently 
running cold tap. As you say theres not much adjustment so the clutch is as 
new, strip it down & soak the friction & steel clutch washers in meths or 
lighter fluid.

Hi, the old shaft was sent to me so i believe it was replaced, and in all 
honesty i pulled in a very nice smoothound shortly afterwards with no probs, 
so im unsure,

I do wd40 reels after use, could this have gone through to the internal 
plates?

Whoops, theres your answer. Why WD, they only need a run under a gently 
running cold tap. As you say theres not much adjustment so the clutch is as 
new, strip it down & soak the friction & steel clutch washers in meths or 
lighter fluid.

Hi, the old shaft was sent to me so i believe it was replaced, and in all 
honesty i pulled in a very nice smoothound shortly afterwards with no probs, 
so im unsure,

I do wd40 reels after use, could this have gone through to the internal 
plates?

Whoops, theres your answer. Why WD, they only need a run under a gently 
running cold tap. As you say theres not much adjustment so the clutch is as 
new, strip it down & soak the friction & steel clutch washers in meths or 
lighter fluid.

Hi, the old shaft was sent to me so i believe it was replaced, and in all 
honesty i pulled in a very nice smoothound shortly afterwards with no probs, 
so im unsure,

I do wd40 reels after use, could this have gone through to the internal 
plates?

Whoops, theres your answer. Why WD, they only need a run under a gently 
running cold tap. As you say theres not much adjustment so the clutch is as 
new, strip it down & soak the friction & steel clutch washers in meths or 
lighter fluid.
