109AR (TGT1556 Drive Gear Bushing)

Genuine Shimano Drive Gear Bushing (part #109AR) — this bushing supports the drive gear shaft, reducing friction and ensuring smooth rotation during cranking. A worn drive gear bushing introduces play and wobble in the gear train, causing rough retrieve, increased noise, and accelerated wear on the drive gear itself. Cross-references with Shimano part number TGT1556. OEM replacement restores tight tolerances and silky-smooth gear operation.
