Location: MN | Top of my head I can't think of any 400B parts that will work in a TE. In my experience the following are the parts I go through most often or feel you are most likely to have issues with:
2701 click gear
2150 line guide pawl
1703 idle gear C
2404 anti reverse pawl
2733 idle gear B
2764 pinion gear
2949 roller clutch bearing
2224 spool tension spacer |

Can happen for sure, especially when using a power handle or when using the handle to set the hook or to rip baits. Otherwise generally not "common", but certainly worth having a spare on hand. |

| both of my reel got a power handle.thanks a lot guys i really appreciate.btw if you have a versatile reel suggestion go for it.for now ive tried the tranx,the calcutta b and the revo toro.and none of them could replace my precious te.we need a petition to ask for a return lol i would sign it right away.i have seen petition for the return of the original special k so why not for one of the greatest reel ever made? |

when using the handle to set the hook
Is this a new trend? All this time I've been using the rod.
Can someone thats a pro at this tell me how its done? |

This bit of snark must be aimed at me.
I bought a Calcutta Conquest used, it had a power handle on it. The driveshaft was not bent, it had a groove worn into it. I have no idea what caused that. I bought a new driveshaft and replaced it. A cheap easy fix. |

Many parts for the TE reels are discontinued from Shimano as of today
Especially Left Hand Reel Parts.
I would take off the Power Handles to save the Gears !!!

| why the powerhandle could ruined the gear faster ? |

Location: Latitude 41.3016 Longitude 88.6160 | Yes
All Power Handles will Destroy Gears in Reels.
Plus most will engage on the Cast !!!
The TE was the Best, But it’s Day is Over !!!

| no it don't engage when you know how to use it |

I think I replaced over 50 Gear Sets on Reels that Engaged on the Cast last year.
Power Handles will wear out Gears in one Season, now that they are no longer Available I use the Stock handle on them, the gears will last a lot Longer that way.

| wow that's a lot of guys that don't put their powerhandle toward the floor before a cast. |
