Post by: Brian A on August 07, 2016, 05:17:53 AM
Hello.  Anyone know if a newer stradic model clutch fits?  Thanks for your time.

I don't know for sure. You can find a replacement clutch for the FE on ebay, generally.

I have taken a newer working clutch apart and used the bottom of the old one so it will fit on the body of the reel. They are all just about the same. They change that lower part so it won't fit on other reels. Why I have no clue...

back then the Symetre was identical to the Stradic, w/ fewer bearings & cheaper handle; Sustain 4000FA should also be the same; later on Sedona (FB, I think) used the same design up top (identical rotor) so the AR will probably fit...  probably a few other later, cheaper models...  back then Shimano parts were much more standard/interchangeable

It may fit but more than likely not. Just change the bottom part to fit your reel.

too new; different platform...  I meant SymetreFE is identical/cheaper version of StradicFE & many subsequent Sahara, Sedona, etc. would have the same A/R assembly -- just get a parts/repair lot of 4000-size Shimano's that have the same-looking rotor...  later models that follow the SustainFB/StradicFG "slimmer" design, would be much less useful as a source of parts
