SHIMANO 107QK GEAR SHAFT THRUST WASHER (TLD0079)

Protect Your Drive Train Alignment

The Shimano 107QK Gear Shaft Thrust Washer (Part No. TLD0079) is a standard copper or brass alloy shim found in the drive assembly of Shimano’s classic lever drag reels. This washer is typically positioned on the Gear Shaft (the main handle shaft) to act as a spacer and friction buffer between rotating components, such as between the handle and the drive gear assembly or against the bearing.

Its role is to minimize axial play (in-and-out movement) of the handle shaft while ensuring smooth rotation under load. If this washer is missing or worn thin, the handle may feel "loose," or the gears may not mesh at the correct depth, leading to premature wear on the main gear teeth.

Installation Tip:

1. Placement: This washer often sits directly against a Ball Bearing (like TLD0080/BNT0124) or under the Drive Shaft Shield.

2. Condition: Inspect the washer for "cupping" or deep grooves. If it is deformed, it will not space the shaft correctly.

3. Lubrication: A light film of grease helps hold this washer in place during assembly and prevents corrosion.
