JDM Metanium issue

I bought a Metanium last spring and really liked it a lot. But about halfway into the season it developed a grindy feeling. It just doesn't feel as buttery smooth as my other Shimanos. Since I'm afraid to disassemble a $400 reel I took it into a tackle shop/service center, along with a few other reels to get cleaned and lubed. Unfortunately it did not help. Can you please give me some advice on how to fix this problem?

Also might want to contact Shimano, they may warrantee it (1 year I think??)

Thanks, I called the Tackle Trap to discuss this issue and everyone with knowledge on this problem is gone until Monday. They all took a road trip to Knoxville for the BMC.

You can send the reel directly to us for repair since this is a global model.
