I have a Penn 30 TW that has been 2 Speeded with extra room for gear shifting provided via a spacer ring... with shifter and gears from a 30S.
I took it apart because the Drag had gotten a little weak. I bought a new Drag plate and New factory carbon fiber drag washer assy for a Penn 30TW.
After assembly with the new parts it has very little adjust Pre-Set drag adjustment before I loose Free Spool. As far as I can tell it's exactly as I took it apart on the washer stack. spacers..ect. Is it possible the drag assy spline boss is longer than the original??
Anything you can think of that might fix the problem??
Thanks... Bazz
here is a final edition penn 30s international, straight out of the box via riverside marine. i've had quite a few of these come through in the last several months. popular reel, very tough. here's a link to the schematics....

and here's the reel....
to rebuild these reel, you don't need much in the way of tools or supplies.
the first thing you need to do is shoot a bead of grease into every screw hole. we'll start by removing the quadrant (key #2) and screws (key #'s 31, 32 and 38b).
don't lose the two spacing bushings (key #157).
now you have access to all of the right side plate screws (key #'s 31a and 38a).
this part is really nutz! some of the screws are greased....
and some of them are not!!!!!!!!!!!!!
so figure this. if these screws seize up, you will not be able to get the reel apart. let's put the right side plate back together again and open up the left side plate. all the left side plate screws (key #31A).
off comes the left side plate.
out comes the spool.

out comes the spool shaft and bellevilles in a "()()" orientation.

pull off the reel stand and grease everything.

grease the clamp screws (key #34).

and clean it all up.

now we're going to open up the left side of the spool. back out the four drag cover screws (key #123). careful, it's spring loaded.
http://www.yourfishpictures.com/data/500/medium/101_0231.JPG
find the drag cover (key #156), four screws (key #123), the drag washer (key #117), the bearing spring (key #41). the bearing (key #20) and bearing sleeve (no key #).

just for comparison, here is a dry old style penn ht-100 drag washer on the left, and the new dura drag from this reel. the weave is clearly different....
http://www.yourfishpictures.com/data/500/medium/101_0233.JPG
and the new dura drag washer has "dura gel" on it. in this case, there might be a little too much "dura gel" in some places....
http://www.yourfishpictures.com/data/500/medium/101_0234.JPG
and not enough "dura gel" in others.... i know it's hard to see, but in the photo below, the inside half of the drag is coated, and the outside half was missed! this half of the drag washer might now be suseptible to corrosion after salt water intrusion.
