Product Description
Mitchell 82582 Drive Gear | Mitchell 900 & 901 Series Replacement
Ensure the smooth, powerful operation of your high-speed Mitchell spinning reel with the Mitchell 82582 Drive Gear. This precision-machined main gear is the mechanical heart of your reel, responsible for delivering the high-torque performance and rapid retrieve rates that the Mitchell 900 series is famous for.
As a critical internal component, the 82582 drive gear is engineered to withstand the rigors of heavy use, featuring a robust tooth profile that ensures a perfect mesh with the pinion gear. Replacing a worn or chipped drive gear will eliminate "grinding" sensations and restore the factory-silent feel to your vintage gear.
Product Specifications & Fitment
This drive gear is built to original factory standards, utilizing high-durability alloys to provide a long service life in both freshwater and brackish environments.
-
Part Number: 82582
-
Material: High-strength marine-grade alloy.
-
Component Type: Main Drive Gear (typically used in high-speed, round-body configurations).
Compatible Models:
The 82582 Drive Gear is designed specifically for the high-speed "900" series of Mitchell spinning reels:
-
Mitchell 900 (High Speed)
-
Mitchell 901 (High Speed)
Note: This gear is specifically matched to the high-speed retrieve ratios found in the 900 series. While it may appear similar to gears in the 300 series, it is not interchangeable due to the specific tooth count required for the high-speed oscillation system.
Maintenance & Installation Tip
To protect your investment and ensure your new gear lasts for decades, proper lubrication is essential during the installation process. We recommend using Deuthlon Lubrication for professional-grade results:
-
Deuthlon Power Gear Grease: Apply a light, even coat to all gear teeth. This grease is specifically formulated to stay in place on high-speed gears, providing a "cushioning" effect that reduces wear and noise.
-
Deuthlon Reel Oil: Apply a single drop to the drive gear shaft and the supporting bushings to ensure minimum rotational resistance and immediate start-up smoothness.
Technical Resources
For a comprehensive guide to the internal assembly of your Mitchell 900 or 901, you can access the original PDF schematics at www.reelschematic.com. Referencing the schematic is highly recommended to identify the correct placement of shims and the transfer gear (Part #82583) that works in tandem with this drive gear.
