T3 MX with tatula zaion dragstar

[MountainMan 83]

Recently received a T3 MX and had a zaion drag star to replace the stock one. Well I took it out to fish, and I found that I could not tighten the drag down enough by hand to actually set the hook on a fish. So I had to keep my thumb on the spool all day, didn't get a bite anyways.

Now, the reel is apart, ready for a good cleaning, spool bearings, and drag replacement.

I'm guessing I need to add a spacer under the star. Anyone dealt with this before? Thanks.

Yeah, I did with the SS SV. I just added another one of those washers which sit between the springs and the star.

I put the same drag star on a 1016 T3. Add another washer similar to the one that goes above the 2 curved drag washers and you'll be good to go.
