All the 7000 reels are 2 pc. it is just that the gold BG has a 2pc Stainless Gear punched together. You cant expand stainless it cracks. That is where the failure is. there were 2 series of stainless gears . 1 you can see the cracks in the center of the pinion gear(round & Junk ) the other in the center of the pinion is a hexigon when it was punched .This one should be OK
The Black BG had a Brass aloy to Stainless the Brass when punched can expand to tighten the 2 pc together without cracking. We just order a bunch of gears and swap them out.
