Hey guys. Long time no see:)

I have a daiwa saltiga spinner from 2010 in size 5000 and I bought it of ebay. the reel feels a tiny bit heavy when turning the handle so I had it opened up and checked. Everything is smooth as butter incl. bearings, gears, shafts, the works... I changed the ferrofluid aswell.

Yet when I turn the handle there is like a constant even tiny thing holding the handle from truly "freespin" I have however noticed that there is a shim inside the body attached to the main gear shaft that is not listed in the schematics.... I would hope and believe that daiwa dont have to shim there reels individually to make it snug... maybe the previous owner inserted one.... Or maybe it belongs somewehere else inside the reel.... I have checked japanese and american schematics and theyre all the same...

So to my question: Anyone remember where the shims sits inside the saltiga?

Thank you guys!
