The freespool clicker tension adjustment stopped working on one of my TN's. The friction is the same no matter which way I turn the knob.
I did a search here, came up with the trinidad/torium service thread, but nothing else.
Can someone give me an idea if this is something repairable? I had one years ago brand new that had no adjustment, but the dealer just swapped it for another reel.
Thanks

Alan, thanks for the response. Well I pulled the side plate off and found that the 317 gear is worn to the point of no return.
Where is the best place to order shimano parts from? I also need some line roller bearings for some spinners and a handle for a stradic.

with no damage to the gear on set plate (#327)? i actually grind those down or replace them with washers to improve freespool.

Alan, no damage to 327 at all. Appears they were indeed ground down very nice and neat, possibly by previous owner. Just picked up 3 of these (2 20's and a 30, 30 has the aftermarket handle), didn't "need" more reels but the price was impossible to pass up, and they are in very, very good condition.
I've been using a few 20's and 30's for about 10 years, and looking at the internals on my original ones the gears are in perfect shape, so it can't be a wear item. For me, the adjustment on the clicker is a major reason why I bought the Trinidads to start with.

I know what reels you bought, I tried to buy one of the 20's but I was too late. You got a great deal. Congrat.s

yeah, you are basically turning a trinidad into a gold torium. much better freespool this way.

It helps to wake up at 4:30! He caught me on a morning I went fishing and paypaled him immediately. |

I take the gear out and replaced it with a section of ink pen barrel cut to the proper length. |
