Product Description
DAM Quick Idler Gear C-Clip Part #145-092 | Fits 700 & 800 Series
Secure the drive train of your vintage Champion Series reel with this genuine DAM Quick Idler Gear C-Clip (Part No. 145-092). This small but essential retaining ring (circlip) snaps onto the idler gear post, ensuring the gear stays firmly aligned and engaged with the main drive and worm shaft gears.
In the DAM Quick 700 and 800 series, the idler gear is the critical link that powers the level wind system. If this C-clip is lost during maintenance or loses its tension, the gear can slip off its shaft, resulting in total failure of the line guide movement. Replace it with this precise factory-spec clip to ensure your level wind operates smoothly and reliably.
