Are the main and pinion gear no longer made? I'm unable to find the Calais product page in the Fish Shop Shimano site.

Thanks

Thanks for verifying

Long shot, but curious if the spools regarding the reels in title are interchangeable.
Thanks

Is it the ES70MF or ES70MLF? Body and description of article describes the MLF.

Check the foot of the reel and see if it itself is not loose.
I had the same issue, with a different reel. No matter what rod I put it on, the reel felt loose. Come to find that the foot is loose where it joins the reel and rivet :'(

It's been confirmed to be made of brass. TTT has conversio kits for the Met based reels as the K gears fit.

Gear ratio should be the same at 6.2:1
Differences are the handle, spool and brake block/assembly.

You should be able to use the Zillion Type R star (OG Z). They appear to be very similar in shape in size. I wouldn't be surprised if they were the same stars.

Is it possible to get gears with a faster gear ratio for the 253 mine is a little slow for fishing in rivers with much current, I would love to be able to speed it up, it would make all the difference in picking up slack while float fishing Salmon, right now I'm struggling to keep up at times.

The 203/253 gears should be interchangeable. The only differences are the wider frames of the 253 and worm gear length to accomodate said frame.
