Clutch release/thumb bar for 2015 Shimano DC

Post by j2015 » Thu Mar 29, 2018 10:59 am

Hello,
I am hoping that someone can point me in the right direction to purchase a new thumb bar/clutch release for a left hand shimano 2015 metanium DC xg.

The one I have just cracked off

Shimano suggested I send the reel in for service, but I would rather just glue it for now and order the part and replace it.

I am sure the clutch bar on all the Metanium's are the same.

Part number BNT4675 is the lefty one, available from https://www.southwesternparts.com/

Maybe someone else can confirm as I have not had my hands on the 2015 DC model.

The clutch button is the same as Metanium MGL. You can order the button from us or from another vendor. There is a Phillips head screw holding it on. It will take you all of a minute to replace it.
