Penn 5500ss problem

On my sixth time out with this new reel, I was casting into a school of surfacing bass when all of a sudden the rotor separated from the gear casing. I found the rotor nut had come off so I put it back on and kept fishing - net result- 6 bass up to 29" and 4 blues around the same size. The problem is the anti reverse mechanism. when it is engaged it reverses around one half revolution before it locks, it is a real pain in the butt trying to set a hook and keep steady pressure on a fish. I was hoping someone may have experienced the same problem and can recommend the part that is not working properly. I would bring it in for service but I have no backup and this time of year I can't give it up Thanks in advance for any suggestions
