Product Description
SHIMANO 1084G CLUTCH CAM (TGT0368)
The Core of Your Free Spool Mechanism
The Shimano 1084G Clutch Cam (Part No. TGT0368) is a critical internal component found in Shimano’s high-performance saltwater star drag reels. This cam acts as the central "traffic controller" for the clutch mechanism.
When you flip the clutch lever, this cam rotates to lift the pinion yoke (and thus the pinion gear) away from the spool (disengaging the drive) or drop it back down (engaging the gear). Constructed from durable high-density synthetic material, this part endures constant friction. If your reel feels stuck in free spool, is hard to engage, or if the lever feels "mushy," the ramp surfaces on this cam may be worn down or cracked.

Installation Tip:
-
Alignment: The Clutch Cam interacts directly with the Clutch Plate and the Pinion Yoke. When installing, ensure the two "ears" of the Pinion Yoke sit correctly on the cam's angled ramps.
-
Grease: Apply a liberal amount of Shimano Permalub or marine grease to the ramp surfaces of the cam. This area sees high friction every time you take the reel in and out of gear.
-
Springs: Ensure the Clutch Springs are seated properly on the yoke posts; otherwise, the cam will not have the force to snap back into position when you turn the handle.
