yeah, I checked there too. Its a bit confusing to me but there seems to be a Ambassadeur Black Max 2 and a regular Black Max 2. That one thats available on Mikes is the Ambassadeur and looking at it, a lot of the parts are different even though its low profile too (I had thought that Ambassadeurs are the round/cylinder type baitcast). In Abu Garcia's website there is a Ambassadeur Black Max 1 and a Black Max 1. The Black Max 1 is closer to what I have but there is no Black Max 2 listed. Still can't find the schematics for it. Thanks though
 
 
Thanks man, your idea was right. I wasn't missing anything but you gave me the idea that I put something on wrong (I was pretty confident i hadn't). After looking at some schematics for different reels, I noticed that I put the washer(that isn't flat, 4th part from the left on my pic) on upside down. That groove thing on the washer made up for that space I lost.
 
So it seems that one of those regular culprits for loose drag was the problem. I haven't tried it with line and bait yet, but now I have a much harder time stopping the spool with my thumb and when I do, I can't crank.
