10KZK  (TLD0078  Gear Shaft Shield)

Genuine Shimano Gear Shaft Shield (part #10KZK) — this protective shield covers the gear shaft area, preventing debris, salt, and sand from reaching the gears and bearings. A damaged or missing gear shaft shield exposes critical internal components to corrosion and contamination, leading to premature gear wear and rough operation. Cross-references with Shimano part numbers TLD0078 and 10KZK. Compatible with Shimano TLD-series lever-drag conventional reels. OEM replacement ensures perfect fit and factory performance.
