Starter Drive/Bendix: Testing and Inspection
STARTER MOTOR DRIVE GEAR AND FLYWHEEL RING GEAR INSPECTION
1. Remove the starter motor.
2. Check the wear patterns on the starter drive gear and the flywheel/flexplate ring gear. If the wear pattern is normal, install the starter motor.
3. If the starter drive gear and the flywheel/flexplate ring gear are not fully meshing and both of the gears are scored or damaged, install a new starter
motor. If necessary, install a new flywheel/flexplate.
