Product Description
Mitchell 83975 Drive Gear | Fits 6630 Baitcast Reels
Restore the powerful cranking and smooth performance of your low-profile reel with the genuine Mitchell 83975 Drive Gear. As the primary transmission component in the Mitchell 6630 baitcaster, the drive gear is responsible for transferring energy from the handle to the spool with precision and strength.
Machined from a high-durability alloy, this gear is designed to withstand the high-torque demands of bass fishing and light saltwater applications. Whether you are battling gear "grind" or performing a preventative overhaul, the 83975 ensures your reel maintains its factory-spec gear mesh and rhythmic retrieve.

Installation & Maintenance
The drive gear is the most critical surface for lubrication within a baitcasting reel. To ensure a silent retrieve and to maximize the lifespan of the teeth, we recommend the following Deuthlon maintenance protocol:
-
Deuthlon Reel Gear Grease: Apply a thin, even coat to every tooth of the 83975 Drive Gear. Deuthlon's specialized formula provides a "ceramic-like" coating that significantly reduces friction and prevents the "shark-toothing" wear common in high-use reels.
-
Deuthlon Reel Power Oil: Use a single drop on the drive gear shaft and the handle bearings to ensure effortless, friction-free rotation.
Why Choose Genuine Mitchell Replacement Parts?
Baitcasting reels operate with tight internal tolerances. Using an original Mitchell 83975 gear ensures that the tooth pitch perfectly matches your existing pinion gear. Aftermarket or worn gears can cause "gear chatter" and vibration, which leads to premature failure of the entire gear bridge. This authentic part restores the mechanical integrity and smooth, powerful feel of your Mitchell 6630.
