Lew's Speed Spool LFS making clicking noise on retrieve.

[Gomez4455]

I am having issues with my Lew's Speed Spool LFS. If I just click the release button and retrieve, I get a clicking noise during retrieval. However, if I click the release button slowly until it starts stopping and then give it a little firm press, there is no clicking on the retrieval. It makes an audible second click when preforming this method. I am not too familiar with reels, but I am a money-tight college student. I was wondering if this an easy fix or if I should just leave it to the professionals and send it in. I have a video showing what I described above, but I couldn't upload it because the file size was too large.

Is the side over on right ? Is the spool all the way seated?

most clutches have 2 detentes - that second click in wind is fully engaged.  

The winding sound you're describing is the clutch bar not releasing fully, while the pinion gear is engaging.  

 

@Gomez4455 editing in a ps here.  

by first removing the spool, the thumb clutch button is easy to remove by a single screw reached from the front.  

With that out of the way, you have clean access to the clutch bar tracks - check for debris, and lube there. 

 

Also makes them easy to swap out the thumb button...
