Shimano scorpion dc problems

[Bossman583]

I have a like new reel but the gears sound terrible! I have cleaned with everything I know too clean with and greased. Noise was still there so I put oil on them instead, noise is still there. What do you guys recommend me do?

[iabass8]

don't oil gears....ever. always use grease. What noise? Can you feel like gears or are they just loud in sound?

[Bossman583]

I can feel them grinding and I never oil them but I didn’t know what else to do

What did Shimano say when you called them? Brian.

Used reel or brand new reel?

without touching it, it sounds your pinion/or main gear is likely done for or one of pinion bearings is shot. If it's used, buy a gear set or bearings. If it's a new reel, send it back.

Sure it is not the cast control noise. The dc reels make some noise, at least mine do.

[Bossman583]

Alanhore: it is definitely the gear and on the digital control.

the reel is used, I bought it from a lady in Texas off of Facebook. Where is the best place to get parts?

I have a couple of slp zillions that came with a rough pinion. Need to order a pair of replacements from the 'trap

[Bossman583]

After testing all bearings the pinion bearing is rough, do I need to replace the gear too?

You could send it to tackle trap. If you're gonna do it yourself , order a main gear , pinion gear , yoke and pinion bearing from the shimano website for a curado i. Make sure you get the right ratio.

I would personally order a new gear set and new pinion bearings if you really like the reel. Gear sets do go bad and it’s nice to have a spare. However you can find just a pinion bearing for relatively cheap. I don’t know the size offhand without looking it up but if you email the tackle trap they can likely send you one

I would go thru this reel completely. I dont think it's a gear unless it was abused. Feel free to call if I can help.

The pinion bearings are very common on the I series reels. Easy fix.
