Towards then end of the local sambo season I noticed a slight grinding & rough retriece on my SW20k when retrieving 400g jigs from the deep. Sent it in to shimano for a service and got it back today. Apart from some small scratches I don't remember having before, the reel doesn't spin as freely as before. Before I sent it off the weight of the handle/knob was enough to get the reel spinning (if that makes sense), not anymore. Apparently they replaced the pinion gear/drive shaft(?), is it just a case of letting the new parts wear in? excessive grease?
