We are having an issue with releasing the winch. We are using a piston to release the winch directly, when actuated the piston does release the gear box into neutral, but doesn't allow the system to release "clean" or "free". When done-manually, system will release and work successfully. Any suggestions.....2 days left

Hi there,

What size air cylinder are you using? The ones that we recommend installing on our Sonic Shifters are not powerful enough to release a winch under the load of a catapult. You may need to switch to a much larger bore cylinder, or use a lever arm to get enough force to fully disengage the dog gear.
