    I just recently got my first winch. Warn m8000s. Both times I have used it I found that when I was winching with tension on the line and let go of the button, the line would roll out about a foot or more, causing the vehicle to roll back (kinda scary I thought). I have the clutch in the "full engage" position. Is this normal?
