cddan Posted December 24, 2015 Posted December 24, 2015 I have a new 300e with a knob that has more play in it than I like. Does anyone have a simple fix? I have taken it apart and inspected it. The best I can tell is the inside diameter is just a little larger. Thank you for any ideas Shimano for life! 8 pounders for all! And all a good bite! Quote
Super User iabass8 Posted December 24, 2015 Super User Posted December 24, 2015 The cast control knob? elaborate on the play. Is it an in and out play or is it loose on the threads? Quote
cddan Posted December 24, 2015 Author Posted December 24, 2015 Its the handle crank knob It has some extra in and out play but also play on the shaft The bearing runs good and its securely fastened. Quote
a1712 Posted December 24, 2015 Posted December 24, 2015 Buy a kit of RC Car 4mm shims. The kit should have .05-.25mm shims in it. Shim from the bottom of the knob shaft to remove all play. Brian. Quote
Super User iabass8 Posted December 24, 2015 Super User Posted December 24, 2015 Oh, the handle knob. Exactly what the above poster said to do. Just add necessay shims from the bottom and it will work as desired. Quote
cddan Posted December 24, 2015 Author Posted December 24, 2015 Thank you. I thought along those lines myself but needed to find the right shims easily. I will try your suggestions much appreciated! Quote
