It's probably just dirty or rusty from lack of use. Try spraying the shaft with WD 40 or PB Blaster for a temporary assist. More permanent fix is to take the winch off the truck, remove the drum and clean the clutch and shaft, possibly polishing the shaft with some emory cloth, and re-lubricate everything.
