HOW TO TELL IF NEWER OR OLDER GEAR PAIRS:
Penn changed the design of the main and pinion gears at some point. The easiest way to tell which pair that you have is to look at the main gear, holding it sideways to look at the teeth.
On the newer style 5N-320 main gear, the teeth are all one straight edge. On the original 5-320 main gear, the end of the teeth has a edge tapered at an angle.
If you are replacing an older style 5-320 gear with the 5N-320, you will also need to replace the pinion gear with the matching newer style 13N-320.

11/30/2024 This is the spot if you fix Penn reels. What a awesome shop. Great website. Schematics of reels on hand with available parts list. Best shop around. Since you can't walk into Penn reels in Philly anymore, this is the next best thing. Thanks for your services!!!!! Even parts for vintage reels. Delivery is super quick as well.
10/23/2024 Easy to order parts and they shipped fast. Great seller! Hope to do business with them again! If you do not find what you are looking for do a Google search with Mystic Reel Parts in the search with your model. I have a Penn 285 and 9 and it took me to the exact page for both. Also have the reel schematics.

I luckily found MysticParts via a Google search. Their website is comprehensive and I was at a loss on what I needed. Fortunately the “contact us” option was user friendly. To my delight I got a personalized and VERY helpful response right away. She asked questions to fully understand my needs and then followed up with links to the right parts. We continued our email exchange regarding my second reel issue and, again, she was extremely knowledgeable and gave me both practical as well as professional solutions.
If you need reel parts and assistance with repair and maintenance, do not hesitate to work with them.
