A Starter drive gear

1. Check that the overrunning clutch moves along the shaft freely. If it does not, replace it.
2. Check that the overrunning clutch locks in one direction and rotates smoothly in reverse. If it does not lock in either direction or it locks in both directions, replace it.
3. Check the starter drive gear for wear and damage. If it has any, replace the overrunning clutch assembly; the gear is not available separately.

Note: Check the condition of the flywheel or torque converter ring gear if the starter drive gear teeth are damaged.
