Shimano Sahara 2500fb drive gear needed

[xjchad]

Hi all,
I'm servicing a reel for a buddy and the drive gear (PN:  RD 6699) has a missing tooth.
I'd like to replace it for him.
Do any of you have a spare I could buy???
Marked on the back of the hear is 00SH1.
Thanks!
Chad

Think Alan is talking about the part number...............RD6699.

just get a cheap parts/repair reel (obviously, w/out gear problems)
many different Saharas 1000-2500 / FA-FE  USE THE SAME GEAR SET

• https://www.ereplacementparts.com/drive-gear-p-1540241.html

...& it's better to replace main/pinion as a set
PLUS!!!  among the pile of extra parts, you may get:

• IMPORTANT -- correct SECOND main gear bearing RD 8740 (or, RD 0930 may be same dimensions, but different shielding), to replace the nylon bushing (RD 2293), for a nice boost in stability/smoothness (possibly, why the tooth broke in the first place)
• spare line-roller bearing (RD 8744) which is usually the first to go
• spare spool(s) -- even if wrong/beat-up, may have correct felt drag washers fresher than yours
