I know! My old 7000's i could grease the #^&#^&#^&#^&e out of and they worked fine! I bought one of the Chinese iHSN's (FWIW, this is my favorite Abu ever, just had growing pains) and this happened to me and after a lot of jacking around I realized a) it was supposed to be a dual anti reverse and neither worked??? and b) if the dog and pony reverse wasn't almost completely clean, it would kinda sorta catch, but didn't at the worst possible times!
Beer drinking is a good excuse to fix #^&#^&#^&#^&e though, so carry on. You might want to use a torch though- beer drinking and torches add to the fun.
