Abu 6000 handle going backwards!

[adam.d]

Sometimes the handle on my abu 6000c spins backwards. What do I need to stop this happening?. Also it has a bit of "play" in it, like when ya stop reeling in the handle will go backwards a bit but my mk2 rocket has none of this. Is it possible to buy some rocket spares to upgrade my 6000? can someone tell me what I need?

itll be the anti reverse clip that fits over the cog inside,more than likely it wont be broke it will just need squeezing together and a bit oil put on the cog will cure it.its a small metal thing with a hole at one end that fits over a pin and the other end has 2 brass lugs on it that fits over the cog,its these brass lugs that u squeeze together.if your not sure wot it looks like ill try and stick a pic up

My excuse is I don't use abu's lol

[CATCHMO]

i no longer use them but when i first started fishing i used them all the time,i had various models in the 6000 and 6500 range which i would take apart 2 clean on a regular basis and i also came across the problem in question.i still have a few broken ones in the shed.i was going 2 dig them out and take a photo ov the exact part im onabout but the thought ov just opening my shed door is making my head hurt..lol

I'm the same, I got a garage with 2 bikes to fix... if I even catch sight of them I cant sleep lol

All sorted now thanks to dabcatcher, he striped it down and re-greased it and now it's sweet as a nut
