Product Description

DAM Quick 110-576 Pinion Gear - SLS 4

Restore the silent, powerful retrieval of your heavy-duty reel with this genuine DAM Quick Pinion Gear.

The Pinion Gear is the high-speed engine of your DAM Quick SLS 4 drivetrain. Located centrally on the main shaft, this robust brass gear meshes with the large main drive gear to spin the rotor. In the larger SLS 4 model, this gear endures significant torque and friction during heavy cranking. Over time, the helical teeth can wear down, leading to a "gritty" retrieve, excessive gear noise ("gear buzz"), or a loose, wobbly rotor. This authentic replacement part restores the fluid, precision mesh and mechanical tightness essential for a quality fishing experience.

Product Features

• Precision Helical Cut: Teeth are machined to exact tolerances to mesh seamlessly with the main drive gear for vibration-free operation.

• Model Specific: Engineered to the specific length, diameter, and thread pitch required for the DAM Quick SLS 4 housing.

• Durable Alloy: Constructed from high-quality brass to resist wear while providing a smooth running surface against the steel main shaft and drive gear.

• Restored Tolerance: Eliminates rotor wobble and restores the crisp, tight feel of the reel's rotation.

Model Compatibility

This part is verified to fit the following DAM Quick spinning reel models:

• DAM Quick SLS 4

Note: This pinion gear is unique to the SLS 4. It is not interchangeable with the smaller SLS 3 (Part #110-575) or the larger SLS 5 due to differences in gear ratio and physical dimensions.

Installation Notes

Replacing the pinion gear involves a significant disassembly of the reel.

1. Remove the spool and the rotor nut to lift off the rotor assembly.

2. Open the reel body (side plate) and remove the main shaft and drive gear to release the pinion's internal engagement.

3. Remove the retaining screws or plate holding the pinion bearing/bushing in place.

4. Slide the old pinion out. Pro Tip: Check the condition of the Pinion Bearing (Part #110-550) and the Ratchet (Part #110-563) while the assembly is apart; a rough bearing will quickly ruin a new gear.

5. Clean the housing of old grease and debris. Apply fresh reel grease to the teeth of the new 110-576 pinion and light oil to the shaft surfaces.

6. Install the new pinion, ensuring it spins freely in the bearing before reassembling the rest of the drivetrain.
