Product Description
Shimano 10AUD Clutch Bar Guide A (BNT3467)
The Shimano 10AUD Clutch Bar Guide A (BNT3467) is a precision-molded internal component essential for the smooth operation of your baitcasting reel's "Quick-Fire II" or thumb bar clutch system. This guide works in tandem with Clutch Bar Guide B to provide a stable, low-friction track for the clutch bar, ensuring it travels straight and resets consistently after every cast.
Over time, these guides can develop grooves, surface wear, or even crack under heavy use, leading to a "sticky" or uneven feel when engaging the thumb bar. Replacing your worn guides with this genuine Shimano factory part restores the effortless, tactile response that allows for one-handed operation and rapid-fire casting.

Pro Tip: Because the clutch assembly relies on two different guides, it is best practice to inspect both Guide A (10AUD) and Guide B simultaneously. Even minor wear on these plastic rails can impact the alignment of the thumb bar.
