scorpion 1001 gear

[gpoler]

hello,
can I replace the main gear and pinion of Shimano Scorpion 1001 using the curado 101D main gear?

[Bantam1]

Yes you can use the gear set from the Curado 101D or 101B if you want to use brass gearing.

hello, thanks a lot.

P.S. is the main gear of curado 101D brass or alloy?

[Bantam1]

It uses aluminum. The 101B model uses brass.

hi, thanks.
i used to think also the cu 101d uses brass, but now i could think to use alluminium in servicing the scorpion,( that now is a little noisy in reeling.

[Bantam1]

The Scorpion used brass from the factory I believe.

hi,
yes the scorpio has brass gears.

i replaced last week the main and pinion gear with the alloy one for curado 101d .
now it works great, completly solved the roughness of the old gear( i think i used for 4 years and, even they don't seem used, they had become noisy end rought during rotation).

i noticed that also metanium xt and metanium mg7 have alloy gear. the metanium works great from 2006 and i hope the new equipment for scorpion will last the same!

also the drag seems more efficient than brass, could it be?

[Bantam1]

The drag performance should not be any different with the brass or aluminum gear.

[gpoler]

in that case ,
it will probably due to a good cleaning and greasing after service and replacing.
