Posts: 51 | I was cleaning my 401TE and when I put it back together I have a problem. Now when I turn the handle it makes a horrible clicking sound. I reassembled it and it still does it. I know it isn't the clicker. It doesn't happen until I place the drag star on (before that it turns without problem). I'm hoping someone here might know what I did and I won't have to send it out. Thanks for the help. | ||

Posts: 51 | That did the trick. You are awesome. The only down side is the pawl got bent before I realized what was wrong. I got it working but will need to order a replacement. Thanks for the help. | ||

Posts: 51 | I did bend it back to where it works. But it was bent in 4 different ways. It seems to be working fine, but I like my gear in top order and will probably replace the part also. Thanks for everything. | ||

Best to replace the A/R Pawl every 1-2 years. | ||

Posts: 51 | Just out of curiosity, do you have a reference for cleaning / maintaining the calcutta 400TE? The cleaning instructions on shimano's web site don't seem to match the 400TE well. Are there any other parts that you consider routinely changing? | ||

Location: Latitude 41.3016 Longitude 88.6160 | GO TO: http://www.calfishing.com/freshwater/calcutta_te_maintenance_guide.... At the end it has 2 Mod.options to gain a little more out your TE. Just oil your reel bearings once a month and clean your reel once a year and your TE will last a lifetime. | ||
