Zillion TWS Gear Swap

Post by Lvenegoni7 » Fri Jul 14, 2017 11:21 am

I have a zillion TWS 100P and I don't use that gear ratio that often so I wanted to speed it up if I could. I called daiwa yesterday and I may have misspoken and said the zillion SV, but she stated that the other gear ratios had a different side plate and frame. I'm not sure if maybe we had a miss understanding but I just want to swap the gears so if anyone knows if this is doable with just the main gear and pinion let me know. Thanks

Yeah, she must've been confused. Any righty tws gear set will drop in there. The only difference in the side plate is the model no. printed on it.
This is the way.

All tws zillion gears are interchangeable wether its 1016sv or 1516 or 100tws, you can even use catalina bay jigger gears for a tougher gear option.

I bet she meant that the side plate was different because of the letters printed on it, and I bet she meant frame from the color coded single bumper. Sometimes workers who answer the phone aren't always spot on, I do not think many of them involve in the mechanical side of their products.
