Mitchell 81034 Drive Gear | Mitchell 301 Replacement Part
Upgrade or restore your classic Mitchell spinning reel with this high-quality Mitchell 81034 Drive Gear. Specifically designed for the legendary Mitchell 301 series, this drive gear is the heart of your reel’s mechanical operation, ensuring smooth power transfer and reliable performance during every cast and retrieve.
As a critical internal component, the drive gear (also known as the main gear) interacts directly with the pinion to provide the cranking power needed for various freshwater and light saltwater applications.

Maintenance & Installation Tip
To maximize the lifespan of your new drive gear and ensure a "like-new" feel, proper lubrication is essential. We highly recommend using Deuthlon Lubrication products during installation.
-
Use Deuthlon Power Gear Grease on the gear teeth to reduce friction and eliminate gear chatter.
-
A drop of Deuthlon Reel Orchid Oil on the shaft can further enhance the smoothness of the rotation.
Regular maintenance with high-quality synthetics like Deuthlon prevents corrosion and extends the interval between services.
