I have one of these reels I am working on and the spool does not turn when you put the reel in gear pushing the lever drag up from the free spool position. What is the problem? It worked before the customer had new Spectre put on it by somebody else. Did they damage the reel when they put the new Spectre on it? It is a Penn International 16VS serial #E090187

Also the shifter button does not pop out all the way and it does not pop out with a crisp popping noise like it should. It looks like somebody turned the wrench instead of turning or twisting the ring counter clockwise maybe damaging the 23-30VS screw, F/Handle/Shift Button. Could that cause the reel to not go into gear when pushing the lever drag up out of the free spool position?
