104K9 (RD13242   Drive Gear)

Genuine Shimano drive gear (part #RD13242, SKU 104K9) — the main power gear in your spinning reel that meshes with the pinion gear to transfer handle rotation into rotor spin for line retrieval. This gear endures constant torque and is essential for smooth, skip-free cranking under heavy drag loads. Worn, pitted, or chipped drive gear teeth produce grinding sounds, hesitation during retrieve, and eventual gear failure during critical fights. Cross-references with Shimano part number RD13242. OEM replacement delivers factory-hardened steel and exact tooth profiles for powerful, seamless performance.
