TE parts are next to non existent now.
You know that moment when your steak is on the grill and you can already feel your mouth watering.
Do vegans feel the same when mowing the lawn?

It is a 401 part no BNT 2755. Clutch Cam. The 400 part is BNT 2710 for Clutch Cam. For 0.99 part to make a reel non functional... Crazy

I cant as I have no functional knowledge. My pics show a gap with button engaged or not. I assume it's broken but defer to your and Alan wisdom.

Ah ha oldmanjoe. You were right! The previous owner had yoke upside down. Loosened two screws and re oriented it! Still the release clutch slides but sticky. Could be cracked and needs replacing as well. Can of worms this reel. Needs now in addition to quick clutch, bearing and the little spring ball belw anti reverse dog clicker.

A picture is worth a thousand words .     I feel that reel design is ruff when in open face , until you fully assemble it .    Some how the the thumb button holds the mechemesium  to make it work smooth when fully assembled " springs don`t over cam" if that makes sense !

Sometimes, troubled junk reels have a great ending. Alan Tani offered to figure out the issues and fixed it beautifully. It was a saltwater intruded, poorly maintained, with broken thumb bar and rusted bearings. All around mess! See pics. Can't wait to fish this. Many thanks

Cool!
I got taken to school on my first Shimano baitcaster, a Chronarch SF 100. It took about 5 rebuild tries to get it right and nothing was broken.
Nothing better than a "happy ending"!
Fishing tackle is an art form and all fish caught on the right tackle are"Gfish"!
