Garcia Worm Gear #1134361/5205/24604/23943.  If the Line guide on your 6000 series Abu Garcia casting reel does not travel across the front of the reel reliably, the problem is most likely this worm gear.  Its replacement along with the #5176 line guide pawl will most likely solve this problem.    It is a fairly simple repair job and can be accomplished with the minimum of knowledge and tools.   Need schematics?  Check out reelschematics.com or send us an email.  

Look for an instructional video on the process on our web site in the near future. 

Additional upgrades that you might want to consider when replacing this worm gear are:  Ceramic pawl, grade 5 or 7 bearings (Abu Garcia reels are shipped with grade 3), Gater Grip Handles (larger knobs and slightly longer for more cranking power) and “Smoooooth Drag” drag washers.  These upgrades will make the standard Abu Garcia casting reel “smoke!”   Contact us and we will be glad to assist you in ordering and installing just the right parts!
